FREMONT (KRON) — Police are looking for five suspects in connection with a home invasion in Fremont.

The crime happened on Wednesday night in the 45000 block of Little Foot Place, an affluent neighborhood.

Seven victims, including two children, were inside the home during the time of the robbery.

“I was only praying that all of us should be alive, let them take whatever they want,” said the homeowner, who did not want to be identified. “For the 6 minutes I was in, I was praying we all should be alive. That was my only prayer.”

Police say the armed suspects made off with over $8,000 in cash and jewelry.

The suspects pistol-whipped and physically dragged some victims, police said.

“He pulled the trigger and said, ‘Do you want to die?'” the homeowner said.

No arrests have been made.

Back in 2016, there were two home invasions that occurred in the adjacent neighborhood. Residential burglaries have gone down 32 percent since last year, police said.

These suspects are considered dangerous since all five of them were armed with a handgun.
