Two men — one armed with a switchblade — had broken into a home and demanded to know the location of a safe.
Attempts to restrain the pair weren’t successful and the men fled the residence.
There were no injuries.
The first wanted man is described as white, 40 to 50 years old and 5-foot-8 with dark short hair, dark eyes, a tan complexion, and possibly had a beard. He was wearing what appeared to be a scarf covering his face, black pants, black boots and black gloves.
The second man is also white, 30 to 40 years of age and 5-foot-10 and was wearing all black clothing, black gloves and armed with a switchblade.
