Two men armed with guns broke into an Akron home Thursday night and robbed the woman inside.

Police Lieutenant Rick Edwards says the suspects broke into the home in the 300 block of East Archwood Avenue shortly after 7PM.

They entered through an unlocked kitchen window, and and approached the 65-year-old woman in her bedroom, where she was watching TV.

The suspects demanded marijuana and money, but instead left with $200 and a laptop computer. They also took her cell phone so she could not call for help.

The woman was not injured.

Police describe the suspects as two black males, between 20 and 26 years old, each wearing dark clothing and hooded sweatshirts.
