A man reported being tied up and held at gunpoint Tuesday morning in his West Davis home, police said.
Lt. Art Camacho said the man, a Pinnacles Place resident, reported being awakened at about 6 a.m. by a tapping noise and discovered a man holding a handgun at his bedside.
“Hey, where’s the money?” the suspect reportedly said, prompting the victim to hand over several thousand dollars’ worth of cash and jewelry, along with a cell phone and keys to a Toyota Prius, Camacho said.
The suspect then tied up the victim with a cord and fled the scene, reported the man, who was able to untangle himself and run down the street, where he encountered a security guard and reported the incident to police.
Camacho said they are continuing to investigate the incident, including how the suspect — described only as an African-American male adult — gained entry into the locked residence. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Davis Police Department at 530-747-5400.
