San Marino police searched for four men who preyed on a senior couple in a home invasion robbery.

The robbery occurred at about 9 p.m. Friday at a home in the 1700 block of Oak Lane, according to a police statement.

The four intruders wearing black ski masks pried open a French door in the master bedroom, zip-tied the residents at gunpoint and forced them to lie down in the front entryway, then disabled telephones, internet and security camera systems, police said.

The men then spent about 1 1/2 hours ransacking the home, police said.

The husband crawled to the garage while still tied up and yelled for help until a neighbor heard him, police said.

The neighbor freed the victims and called police. Paramedics treated the victims for minor injuries, police said.

Anyone with information was asked to call detectives at 626-300-0726 or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
