3 women raped, robbed, man robbed in home invasion

04-22-2008

Four armed men entered a home on the 700 block of East 22nd Street just after 10 p.m. Sunday, raped and robbed three women, and robbed a man before fleeing, Anniston police said.

Three adults and two children were in the house when the four men entered through an unlocked front door, police said.

All of the men had their faces covered and all were either wearing gloves or socks on their hands and carrying firearms. One had a handgun, the others had shotguns or rifles.

The men reportedly demanded "drugs and money," police said.

When the adults only produced money, the 55-year-old man was hit and the two women, ages 44 and 24, were raped, investigators said.

A third woman, age 41, walked into the house during the incident and was sexually abused, police said.

The children reportedly were unharmed.

Police said there is no apparent connection to an April 1 incident on the 700 block of Blue Ridge Drive in which a 21-year-old victim was raped and robbed in the early morning hours.

No arrests had been made in either case as of Monday afternoon.
