Police investigating home invasion and carjacking in Knoxville
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Pittsburgh Police are investigating an alleged home invasion and carjacking in the city's Knoxville neighborhood.
Police say 3 to 5 men broke into a home along Orchard Place just before 12:30 a.m.
A man and woman who were inside the home at the time told police that one of the men had a rifle and two others had handguns.
The man told police he was pistol-whipped and the woman had minor injuries to her face.
Police say the men stole cash, a gun, and car keys -- and then stole their car to escape the area.
The vehicle, which was a blue Honda Accord, was later recovered in Arnold, but the suspects were gone by the time police arrived.
Detectives from Zone 3 are handling the investigation.
