When the husband did not comply, he was struck in the head with a handgun.
The victim's wife stated she was grabbed by two of the suspects, criminally assaulted and taken into the living room area.
The female victim stated that once the suspects left the residence, she cut herself free, ran to a neighbor's house and called 911.
Suspects took several items from the home and left in the victims' 2006 Chevy Express Van.
