HOME INVASION ROBBERY IN THE 1100 BLOCK OF KENNESAW RIDGE ROAD

(COLUMBIA, MO) -

On 1/26/15 at 4:03 A.M., officers were dispatched to the 1100 block of Kennesaw Ridge Road in reference to a burglary with a gun.

Investigation revealed 2 to 3 suspects forced entry through the front door of the residence, which was occupied at the time, and began taking electronics. Three residents of the home heard the commotion and one resident (victim) confronted the suspects. One suspect, described as a tall black male wearing dark clothing, gloves, and glasses, pointed a handgun at the victim and the victim retreated. The suspects proceeded to take the electronics and fled the scene.

No one was injured during the incident and it is still unclear the extent of property damage to the front door. There are no further suspect descriptions at this time. The investigation is on-going.
