Two men armed with semiautomatic handguns confronted a resident outside his home in the 700 block of Pierce Road at around 6:30 p.m. Monday night, Nov. 16, forced him inside the home, and held him and his girlfriend at gunpoint while they looted “several electronic items and an undisclosed amount of cash,” according to Menlo Park police.

Neither the resident nor his girlfriend were harmed, police said.
The suspects were described as black male adults, both wearing black sweatshirts, blue jeans, black scarfs covering their faces, and armed with black semiautomatic handguns.
One was approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighed 200 pounds. The other was described as approximately 22 years old, 6 feet tall, and weighing170-180 pounds.
