An elderly couple was not seriously hurt after two people forced their way into a north Salina home early Saturday morning.

Police Captain Mike Sweeney said just before 4 a.m., the woman woke to someone knocking at the front door of her home in the 1700 block of N. 5th. When she answered the door, a woman in her 20’s said she needed to use the phone to make a call. When the woman’s husband came to the door, a male with his face covered and the younger woman, forced their way inside and started to beat the older couple with a gun.

The suspects took cell phones, a wallet with credit cards, and the elderly couple’s 2007 Chevy Tahoe. Both the man and woman suffered bruises. The man declined treatment. The woman was taken to Salina Regional Health Center for treatment and later released.

The stolen Tahoe was found in Wichita Sunday afternoon and three male occupants were taken into custody. The investigation continues. Police are encouraging anyone with information to contact Crimestoppers at 825-TIPS or the Salina Police Department at 826-7210.
