Posted

Cleveland police are searching for suspects who burglarized a home on West 33rd Street. 

Officers responded to the 3300 block of West 33rd Street around 11:45 p.m. Sunday for a home invasion report. 

Police said the victims, Wayne Agosto, 22, and Jeff Craw, 35, were not injured. They told police two men with guns kicked in the door to their home and demanded money. The suspects took money and cell phones from the residence. It was also reported that the victims were demanded to remove their pants by the suspects. Another victim, identified as Salina O'Malley, 20, was told to remove her sweatshirt.

Carla Cottrill, 29, a 7-year-old boy and a 5-month-old boy were also listed as victims by police.

Police were told Agosto was messaging another man throughout the day regarding purchasing Percocet. The men who committed the burglary are believed to be linked to the purchase. 

The suspects fled the home in a green vehicle with a broken tail light, police said. Later that evening, a sergeant located a green Mazda on Woodbridge Avenue, parked and unoccupied. 

The incident is still under investigation.
