Elderly woman held at gunpoint in recent home invasion robbery

Two men held an 88-year old woman at gunpoint during a home invasion robbery in San Francisco on Thursday.

The robbery occurred in the 100 block of Louisburg Street just south of Geneva Avenue. 

The 88-year-old woman’s daughter explained to KPIX 5 that she received a call from her sister that her house was being robbed with her mother at gunpoint in the bathroom. She said the armed robbery occurred around 1 p.m.

“They got to inside of the house from the back door. They kicked the door and broke the door,” she said to KPIX 5.

The daughter said that an unknown amount of money and property was taken, Patch reported. 

KPIX 5 reports that the daughter is worried about similar crimes occurring and the safety of the city.

“Why now San Francisco? The safety is really a concern, and now we live in this city and we are not protected by anything,” she said. “Should we move out of this area? Move out of this city due to the situation like that?”

The San Francisco police officers are still processing the scene and area for evidence, including interviewing witnesses for additional information, according to KPIX 5.
