Police are looking for two men who forced their way into a house in Port Vue and robbed an unidentified victim of jewelry and other valuables.
Port Vue police said the robbery happened early Monday morning --- just after midnight --- at a home in the 1300 block of Coronado Drive, not far from Sacred Heart Cemetery. The victim was not injured, borough police said.
Allegheny County police detectives are assisting Port Vue police with the investigation. A county police spokeswoman said the robbers, described as two white males, forced open a door while the victim was asleep in bed. The robbers then went into the bedroom and threatened the victim with harm, police said.
No further description was released by police.
They left the house with "a large amount of jewelry" as well as the victim's purse, containing personal items, county police said.
The investigation is continuing, police said. Anyone who heard or saw unusual activity in the area of Coronado Drive, or who may have information about the robbery or the suspects, is asked to call Allegheny County police at (412) 473-3000.
