WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Police are investigating after they say two robbers held a gun to a man’s head when they broke into his home, before getting away with cash and keys from inside Monday morning.

Wilmington Police say it happened around 7 a.m. at a home in the 100 block of S. 9th Street. That’s where officers say they spoke with the 22-year-old victim who was there during the break-in.

Police say the victim told them two men wearing gloves held a gun to his head while they took both his house and car keys, along with a large amount of cash. Officers say the victim did not know who the two robbers were, and could not give a description of either of the men.
