According to BSO spokeswoman Miranda Grossman, the husband and wife opened their garage door when they arrived home and the husband was ambushed by a man who was armed with a gun as he opened the driver’s side car door.
Grossman said in a news release Wednesday that the man demanded the couple’s belongings and got away with “two iPhones, a Rolex and a purse containing a wallet with credit cards.”
She said he then ran toward the roadway where a black sedan was waiting and fled west toward North Federal Highway.
According to Grossman, the valuables taken from the couple were worth more than $44,000 in total.
On Wednesday, BSO released a composite sketch of the robber, who the victim said was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black track pants at the time of the robbery.
