Deputies Searching For Suspects in Two Pace Home Invasions

On 07-14-07, Santa Rosa Sheriff's Deputies responded to the 4400 block of Jernigan Road, Pace, FL, in reference to two home invasion robberies. Dispatch advised deputies that a third party called the Sheriff's Office because the victims of the robberies did not speak English. Upon arrival, deputies tried to find out what had happened. Deputies, with the help of a translator, were able to determine that two armed home invasions had occurred at two different trailers. One of the victims stated that two black males entered his trailer and put a gun to his head. One of the suspects told him to go face down on the floor and then started going through his pockets. One of the suspects took the victims cash and his cell phone. The suspects then ran out the back door. The other victim stated that two black males came into his trailer with guns and took a large amount of cash. A silver 4dr Pontiac (Approximately a 2000 model) was seen leaving the area very quickly. The suspects were armed with what is believed to be a submachine gun (possibly a Tech-9) and a semi-automatic handgun. Anyone with information relating to the identity of the suspects or the identity of any witnesses to the crime is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 437-STOP or the Sheriff's Office at 983-1100.
