CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA -- Police in Pittsburg say they're investigating a home invasion robbery that occurred in the city Tuesday night.

At about 10:30 p.m. on May 9, police received a call from one of the three victims of the robbery after the suspects fled the home, according to police.

When officers arrived, they say they learned that the armed suspects entered a home in the 1800 block of Rosa Blanca Drive through an open door and ordered all three family members who were in the house into a downstairs room where they were held while the robbery took place, police said.
