State police are looking for two men who terrorized a couple inside their home in Maxatawny Township.


The men stormed into the home on Hinterleiter Road around 12:30 a.m. last Wednesday, Nov. 26, and robbed a man and woman in their 70s, state police disclosed Thursday.


The woman managed to escape the home through a door in the basement. She then flagged down a passing motorist and called 911, police said.


Meanwhile, police said the intruders, claiming to have a gun, threatened to harm the man if he failed to give them money. They ended up getting $2,000 in cash and the couple's credit cards, investigators said.


The men then fled through the front door and ran west toward Kohler Road. They were described as possibly being in their 20s, standing about six feet tall with slender builds. They wore dark-colored clothing with beanie caps and concealed their faces with some type of cloth, police said.


Anyone with information about the home invasion is asked to call Crime Alert Berks County at 877-373-9913. A cash reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest.
