A North Center homeowner called for help at 2:10 this morning after two gunmen kicked in the back door of his home, tied the man and his wife up, then stole $1,800 cash and the woman’s diamond ring.

According to the victims, their attackers were both short, heavy-set male, Hispanics between 30 and 35 years of age. One may have worn a gray hoodie. Both were armed.
