FRENCHTOWN TWP., Mich. (WWJ) -- The Monroe County Sheriff's Office is investigating after a report of four people posing as police officers robbed a home early Thursday morning.
It all happened around 2:30 a.m. Thursday, when four suspects forced their way into a home in the 2100 block of Sandy Creek Road, in the area of I-75 and N. Dixie Highway.
Once the suspects were inside, they identified themselves as "Monroe County Sheriff," before assaulting a man inside the home.
The suspects allegedly forced the man to the floor, tied him up and held him down while they ransacked the home. The sheriff's office did not disclose what was taken from the home.
The suspects then fled the scene in an unknown direction.
The sheriff's office says the victim went to a nearby residence and called 911. The victim sustained minor injuries during the incident.
Sheriff's deputies and detectives responded to the scene to begin an investigation, which is still ongoing.
Authorities are actively following up on leads and are asking anyone with information about the robbery to contact the Monroe County Sheriff's Office Detective Bureau at 734-240-7530.
