A home invasion in Portsmouth that targeted elderly residents resulted in the arrest of two perpetrators after they were caught on ring cameras installed in the residences of the victims.
The incident took place in Portsmouth, Va. around 1:50 p.m. Wednesday the robbers reportedly entered the residence of two elderly people.
Mitchell Boney Jr., 25, and Tyree Demont Boney Jr., 22, have been named as the suspects in this case by the investigating authorities. Both of them are wanted for various crimes, including kidnapping, armed robbery, and conspiracy to commit a robbery with the use of a firearm.
The victims quickly hid inside the closet while the suspects, who were both armed with firearms, began to pace about the room shortly after the shooting. A walker was being used by one of the victims because they had difficulties walking.
Ring surveillance video caught the incident on camera and one of the men could be heard shouting demands at the elderly individuals while holding a gun.
“Get in the crib, don’t say nothing,” one of the men tells the couple. “Don’t say nothing. Y’all get in the closet. Get in the closet right now. Get in the closet, I’m not f***ing playing. Get in the closet right now. Get in the closet. Hurry up.”
According to the Portsmouth Police, the suspects stole a safe and wallet from the couple’s residence.
“I am actually pleased to report that we have secured warrants involved in that home invasion,” Portsmouth Police Chief Stephen Jenkins said. “I mean to be pushed into a closet against your will, or make you do anything. I think anyone would feel violated and helpless to defend themselves.”
