COLUMBIA — Columbia police responded to a report of an armed home invasion at 9:25 p.m. Saturday in the Gatehouse Apartments complex at 2401 W. Broadway.

According to the news release from the police, the apartment's resident, a 21-year-old female, heard a loud banging on her door, but before she could open it, two suspects entered the apartment.

The suspects pushed the victim onto a glass table and demanded money, according to the release, and they then searched the apartment and stole some cash.

The suspects are described as males with thin builds and are estimated to be 6 feet 1 inch and 6 feet 4 inches tall. They were last seen wearing black clothing and black masks. According to the release, one of the suspects was armed with a handgun.
