Police said that an Aurora Drive couple went to the Woodford Avenue house to buy car rims and music and, while there, were held against their will and robbed. The victims identified two of the three suspects as Lee and Jackson, reports show.
The victims said the robbers took $400 and jewelry. The male victim said his eyes were covered with duct tape and he was placed in the rear seat of his Ford Explorer.
