‘There was no need to hurt the kids’: Armed robbers posing as delivery drivers invaded home, assaulted children before fleeing, police say

A family in Colorado says a trio of armed robbers posing as delivery drivers forced their way into their Aurora home, pushed and hit their 6-year-old son and choked their 12-year-old daughter, leaving the family terrified and looking to move away while the suspects are still on the loose.

The armed home robbery occurred on Wednesday, June 12 close to 8:45 p.m., near S. Richfield Street when the children of Angelo Medina Rodriguez were at home with a family friend and caregiver, David Hernandez.

Rodriguez and his wife were out.

Ring doorbell camera footage from the family’s home shared with police and reported by Denver FOX affiliate KDVR showed two of the suspects ring the family’s doorbell while holding a packing and then proceed to identify themselves as delivery drivers to the unsuspecting occupants.

The suspects wore construction vests.

Promptly upon opening the door, two men can be seen forcing their way inside with guns drawn. A third man with a face covering appeared to be lurking further back in the parking lot in front of the Rodriguez home but footage shows him quickly bounding up the stairs moments after the first two men get in.
