YUBA CITY (CBS13) — A married couple, both retired doctors, were tied up in their upscale Yuba City home while two men robbed them of their valuables and a 2011 Lexus, according to the Sutter County Sheriff’s Department.

The suspects pretended to be pizza delivery guys when they forced their way into the home on the 1500 block of Richland Road on Tuesday at about 8:50 p.m. and then demanded cash and gold, the victims told CBS13′s Ron Jones.

The male victim said he answered the door and no one was there, but then the armed suspects rushed around the corner. They were carrying a pizza box but were also wearing masks, he said.

They went through the house room by room and spent more than an hour inside, according to the female victim.

She said they also threatened to cut her finger off if she didn’t surrender a gold ring. The men also threatened to kill both victims, they told CBS13. They armed with a gun and a knife.

The Lexus was found abandoned on Wednesday a few miles away, but the suspects were still at large.

Anyone with information on the robbery is asked to call the Sutter County Sheriff’s Department.

    my best guess, Somali Pirates.

      Sacramento does have a considerable Black population. Hell, even the mayor is Black!

      I putting my money on the Blacks.

      • CD

        Since they didn’t give a description of the race, you must assume black. Had it been white robbers, they would have said that.

      • RonnieReagan

        I’m quick to jump on the bandwagon denegrating blacks when it’s legitimate. However, IF YOU HAD WATCHED THE VIDEO, you’d see they described them as a white and a hispanic. Now whether it’s a white hispanic or a white non-hispanic, we’ll have to leave to the liberals.

        Anyway, moral to the story, if you’re going to attack blacks, at least absorb the WHOLE STORY.

    every home should have a gun and use it end of story

    • Stone

      Amen…!

  • Imblackandonparole

    I wonder what the robbers did with the Camel?

    • Eric Swinson

      they were indian you Idiot. it was an Elephant.

  • John Cowan

    In this day and age it’s just a miracle that the robbers didn’t kill them.

  • A Moss

    Always shoot pizza delivery men wearing masks and holding guns.

      I’ve noticed so many of the “99%” in those pictures seem to lack basic hygiene skills.

    • jasperddbgghost

      Ah, another “Protest Wall Street by not using underarm deodorant” rant.

      Pass.

  • Big Bear

    Maybe an answer to this rising crime spree is vigilantism against the thousands of career criminals the revolving-door justice system keeps letting out on the streets. All that information is public. They shouldn’t be hard to find. Preventive maintenance, really.

    • ezlife

      Open season just for one week would be sufficient.

    As long as we suffer poor economy and poor leadership, crimes like this will escalate around the country. Like it or not, the worst will be in the vicinity of large cities or locations that enable illegal aliens, perpetual grievants and somali pirates. I agree with those who suggest firearm ownership and usage.

  • Hank Warren

    Diversity and crime, yet another violation of our rights. Add it to the list of gov’t violations of our rights:
    They violate the 1st Amendment by placing protesters in cages, banning books like “America Deceived II” and censoring the internet.
    They violate the 2nd Amendment by confiscating guns.
    They violate the 4th and 5th Amendment by molesting airline passengers.
    They violate the entire Constitution by starting undeclared wars for foreign countries.
    Impeach Obama, vote for Ron Paul.

      It’s odd how many websites sell your ‘Banned Book’.

    Poor etiquette on the robbers’ part…smart thieves would have chopped that Lexus up right quick

    No race was mentioned here. Are we to assume it’s the default race associated with said crimes?

    • CD

      Always

    • RonnieReagan

      Watch the Video an/or read my comment above (if you can read). You’re a disgrace to our cause.

  • Flashman1854

    We can assume these were black guys who did this.

    When no race is mentioned, this is what one assumes.

    By the way, Yuba City does not have many blacks, so they would have stood out.

    Also, YC DOES have many gun owners – this is a very conservative community (and county – there ARE some in California), it’s too bad the victims either don’t own guns, or didn’t have one ready.

  • oolioo

    Since the race of these crooks was not mentioned we must assume what it was.

    My three best guesses: Amish; Angolan; Choctaw

  • Truth Detector

    “They armed with a gun and a knife. [sic]”

    They is?

    Like the perps, the reporter, proofreader and editor all speak Ebonics.

  • American

    oh those good ole canucks…………. just cant leave the nasty white people alone

  • Matthew Dunnyveg

    Gee, I wonder why no description of the suspects is provided after they ask us to help identify them. Could it be because the suspects are white and the media is covering for them? We all know how the MSM is a bunch of white supremacists.

  • lukuj

    We all know it was Bush’s fault because of the economy which Obama has only had 3 years to fix, or the fault of the Tea Parties, or the tsunami, or the hurricane or racism – anyone or anything other than the people who committed the crime – unless they are white, conservatives, or Christians. Then it will be their fault as it should be.

  • Tickyul Horrific

    No race metioned, well……….I am betting it was Urban Americans.

  • walter12

    It is usually the blacks or the Mexicans that commit this type of crime in California, but heck, who knows nowadays. The main-stream media is always attempting hide the race of the perp, if he is black or Mexican. Of course, there alot of sick whites too nowadays.

  • bigdan

    George Bush did it.

  • Pavelina

    Where are the descriptions of the victims and perps? What do we look for?
