2 College Hill children held at gunpoint in home invasion robbery

CINCINNATI - A College Hill brother and sister were held at gunpoint early Wednesday inside their Sunridge Drive home in what Cincinnati police are calling a home invasion robbery.

Police say a trio of men in their early 20s got into the house through a back door.

One of the robbers herded an 8-year-old boy and his 17-year-old sister into a small room, while the others took valuables including three flat-screen television sets.

Neither of the children were hurt.

A police K-9 team wasn't successful in tracking the crooks.

It has not been determined if the home invasion was a random crime or whether the suspects were familiar with the house or the residents.
