Residents of Colonial Crest Apartments reported to the Bloomington Police Department that four unknown black males forced entry into their apartment and robbed them with a sawed-off shotgun.

According to the BPD report, the incident occurred at 10 p.m. Saturday. A 19-year-old male told officers that he was in his apartment with two other residents when they heard a knock on the door.

When they opened the door to see who was there, the suspects forced their way inside, the report said. One was carrying a sawed-off shotgun.

One of the residents claimed the suspects stole “a cell phone, XBOX and $125,” the report stated.

Another roommate claimed to have $200 to $300 of his cash stolen as well.

“Police are investigating the incident as possibly being drug related,” BPD’s Lt. David Drake said.
