Port St Lucie Police Detectives Investigating Armed Home Invasion
Port St. Lucie (treasurecoast.com) -On June 18, 2021 at approximately 4:28pm, Port St Lucie Police Officers responded to the 400 Block of SE Asbury about a victim that was just robbed. The victim, an adult male was sitting in his garage when a black GMC Acadia parked in front of his mailbox. The suspect/driver exited wearing a black long-sleeved shirt with “Police” on the front/back, a gold badge around his neck and a black full-face mask (only eyes were visible). The suspect stated he had a warrant for his arrest, placed handcuffs on the victim, shut the garage door and turned the power off to the residence.
The suspect later informed the victim, “I’m not a cop, I’m here to rob you”, pulled out a black handgun, and pointed it at the victim’s head.
