Two individuals escaped with a man’s wallet after their targets fled during a home invasion burglary south of Tulsa.
At 6:45 am two men approached a woman who was getting into her car outside her residence in 18100 block of South 71st East Avenue, Tulsa County.
The two armed men demanded money from the woman. They forced their way into her house. Sgt. Travis Jones said that the woman escaped when they entered her home. Her husband who was inside the house challenged the robbers, who consequently pistol-whipped him.
During this fight, he fled to a neighbor’s house and was able to call police from there, Jones said.
The two men were described to be two black men, one was about 5’9, and the other was 6 feet tall. Both were expected to weigh around 180 pounds, Jones said.
