Washoe County Sheriff's Office Detectives are asking for the public's help with identifying two suspects in a home invasion and burglary that occurred early in the morning of Friday, June 10, 2016 at a residence on the 10000 block of Timberwolf Drive in Mogul.

The homeowner was not home at the time of the incident and notified the Sheriff's Office after returning to his residence on Saturday, June 11. Investigators believe the suspects broke through a door in the rear of the residence after first knocking on the front door to determine if anyone was at home. According to the homeowner, a number of weapons were taken.

Both suspects are described as light-skinned males in the early to mid-twenties. Images of both suspects were captured on home surveillance video. Those images are attached to this press release.

The suspects are believed to have been driving a late 1990s to early 2000s white Pontiac four door sedan. Surveillance photos of the suspect vehicle are also attached to this press release.

Anyone with information about these suspects is asked to contact the Washoe County Sheriff's Office Detective Division at (775) 328-3320 or Secret Witness at (775) 322-4900.
