Developing: JeffCo deputies search for burglary, assault suspects | News

JEFFERSON COUNTY, AL (WBRC)- Jefferson County deputies are searching for two suspects involved in a burglary and robbery at a Huffman apartment community.

Deputy
Chief Randy Christian says that deputies are near the Town and Country
Apartments on Old Springville Road, searching for the suspects with the
help of a tracking dog.

Deputies were called to the scene
around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. A female victim told them that as she was
leaving her apartment, two men she did not know approached her and
demanded money. She told them she had no money and they forced her back
into her apartment.

She told deputies that the men made her sit
on a love seat while they searched her apartment. When she tried to
escape one of the suspects cut her with an unknown sharp object.

Deputies
say the suspects then fled on foot and the woman went to a neighbor to
call for help. She was treated for her injuries by Center Point Fire and
Rescue and then went to the hospital for further treatment. Her
injuries are non life-threatening.
