$50,000 reward offered in Burbank home-invasion robbery

BURBANK, Calif. (KABC) -- A homeowner announced a $50,000 reward Wednesday for information leading to the arrest and conviction of two suspects who posed as delivery men and robbed his home early November.

The home-invasion robbery occurred Nov. 1 in the 1300 block of Paseo Redondo at about 4:15 p.m.

Two male suspects knocked on the front door of the residence and claimed to have a mail delivery, police said. When the housekeeper opened the door, the men forced their way inside.

One of the suspects, who was wearing a ski mask, forced the female into a bathroom. He then took $500,000 and fled the scene.

A person of interest was seen driving a late-1990s light blue Ford Ranger pickup with distinctive reflectors on the bumpers and tailgate.

The truck was seen just before and after the home-invasion robbery, according to Burbank police Officer Joshua Kendrick.

Photos of the person of interest were captured by surveillance cameras in the area and released by Burbank police Wednesday. The person of interest was described as a man about 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, of medium build with dark hair and eyes.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with additional information was urged to contact Burbank police Detective Edwards at (818) 238-3264.
