Police are on the lookout for three or four black males in a black Nissan reportedly involved in an armed robbery and home invasion on Swamp Guinea Road just after midnight Wednesday morning.

Officers were sent to the victims’ mother’s residence on Madison Boulevard in Colbert, where the victims fled after the robbery.

None of the victims were injured in the incident, according to Madison County sheriff Kip Thomas. According to the incident report, the suspects left with $500 in cash and $800 in other items.

The 27-year old woman who lives at the residence at 127 Swamp Guinea Road told officers that she was in the restroom when she heard “a commotion” at her back door, followed by heavy foot steps as if someone was running through her house. She said at that point she called her brother, who came over with his girlfriend to see what was going on.

When her brother arrived, he and his girlfriend went around to the back door, where they were confronted by “three of four black males,” dressed in black and armed with two pistols, who ordered them to the ground.

The suspects allegedly asked them repeatedly to give them money and also where the “nigga” that lives there was at. When the suspects saw the homeowner looking out of the window they reportedly ran up the driveway to a black Nissan Maxima parked in the driveway of 85 Swamp Guinea Road and fled in the vehicle.

Witnesses said the car was missing a hubcap on the front passenger side.

Anyone with any information on the suspects or vehicle is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 706-795-6202.

I am glad no one was hurt, but the word "nigga" are you kidding me. Its a good thing a change is coming and I can't wait. I think another word could have been used.

Anon you need to check the quotes! That was a quote from the person interviewed, the sheriff's dept didn't write that themselves.
