Couple say burglars took items, threatened them

6/28/2007

Burglars took various items from a West Toledo apartment unit and threatened a couple and their infant daughter early yesterday, police said.

Cole L. Pendrey of 1807 Christian Ave., Apt. 202 told police the incident occurred about 2:15 a.m. He said he and his fiancee, Zanab El-Ghoul, were sitting in the living room playing video games when someone began pounding on their door demanding money.

One of the suspects fired a shot and eventually kicked in the door and demanded money again.

Mr. Pendrey said he ran from the apartment with his infant daughter when he was confronted by a second suspect and he returned to the unit.

Ms. El-Ghoul told police one of the suspects took items from the apartment before fleeing on foot.
