Robbers posing as FBI agents steal $20,000 in home invasion

Three men claiming to be FBI agents forced their way into a Burbank home just after midnight Wednesday and made off with $20,000 in cash, police said.

The men, clad in dark clothes, gloves and ski masks, banged on the door in the 1000 block of East Fairmount Road, identifying themselves as federal agents to the married couple and their teenage son inside.

When the residents opened the door a crack, the men pushed their way in, with one of the robbers flashing a handgun, police said.

They demanded cash, and made off with thousands stuffed into a purse, said Burbank Police Sgt. Adam Cornils.

Cornils said it was unclear why the family had so much cash, or whether they were targeted. No one was injured.

The men made their getaway in a car, but police had no clear description of the men or their vehicle.

Sounds like the thieves had better manners than the FBI (who would just kick the door in, toss in some flash bangs, shoot your dog and then start yelling unintelligibly and beating you down for not complying fast enough).




Seriously though, I suspect either the victims were members of the illicit drug trade ... or Asian (that seems to be the two groups that keep large amounts of cash around). And the victims know the robbers (whether they know they know is another thing).

Bugging out of the country is always easier in solid currency.

I dont see 20K as "Drug Money"

Well I will agree with the second part of your post. That's too bad for the family for sure though.
