PLANTATION, Fla. - Police are looking for a group of men that carjacked a couple and then terrorized their family in Plantation on Sunday.
Police said a couple was at a Krispy Kreme Donuts store on Northwest 122nd Street in Miami when three armed men carjacked them.
The men forced the couple to go to an ATM and withdraw money.
The men then forced the couple to drive to their home in Plantation, where the men tied up other members of the family and ransacked the home.
"The house was ransacked for about two to three hours," said Detective Philip Toman of the Plantation Police Department. "There were firearms and jewelry taken and two vehicles."
Police said one of the victims was pistol-whipped.
"They caught them all by surprise when they came to the house in Plantation because everybody's tied up and apparently these suspects were armed," Toman said. "There were little children involved, so the victims did the right thing by cooperating because it could have turned deadly."
The men were last seen driving a red Lincoln Navigator with license plate U65-35Y and a blue Jeep Cherokee with license plate VO7-9BD.
Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
