East Ridge Police are searching for a couple who are suspects in a Sunday morning home invasion.

According to an ERPD press release, officers responded to 3110 Moseley Circle on a report of a home invasion at 10:00 a.m. Sunday.  A white male and white female knocked on the door, and then forced their way into the home. The male was armed with a handgun. They tied the 73-year-old male resident’s wrists with zip ties before ransacking the home looking for “money and drugs.”

The male is described as between 25 and 35 years of age. He was wearing a white and black ball cap and gray jacket. The female is described as between 25 and 35-years old.
