The Grove apartments, at 4301 West 24th Place.

Four people reported they were robbed at gunpoint at 10:30 p.m. Monday at The Grove Apartments, 4301 West 24th Place.

They opened the door of the apartment and at least three suspects pushed their way inside with bandanas covering their faces, said Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman. Two of the suspects had firearms, including a shotgun, and forced the victims to get on the ground.

McKinley said the suspects demanded cash, electronics and drugs, and they fled after receiving valuables.

The description of the suspects and their vehicle is not known, but anyone with information about the incident is asked to call LPD or the tips hotline at (785) 843-TIPS (8477). Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a $1,000 reward if the tip leads to an arrest.
