Detectives say a resident answered a knock on his door and once the door was open, two suspects pushed their way in and knocked the resident out of his wheelchair. The robbers took the resident's cell phone, mini-safe, personal identification and $1,000 in cash.

A third suspect, a woman, helped hold the elevator door open and assisted the other two suspects in leaving, authorities said.

Anyone with information about the crime or the suspects can contact sheriff's Detective Gilbert at (661) 272-2446.
