Robbers Posing as FBI Agents Tie Up Riverside County Family During Home Invasion

Authorities in Riverside County are investigating a disturbing home invasion in which a group of armed suspects posed as FBI agents before tying up a family and ransacking their home in Jurupa Valley.

According to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to reports of a robbery on Thursday, October 23, around 10 p.m. in the 5000 block of Manline Drive, located in the Mira Loma neighborhood.

When deputies arrived, they were met by shaken residents who reported that multiple armed individuals had forced their way inside while claiming to be with the FBI. The suspects reportedly told the victims they had a “search warrant,” before ordering the family to the ground and restraining them as they searched the home.

Home surveillance video shared on social media shows three men wearing tactical-style vests and announcing themselves as law enforcement before entering. Once inside, the suspects quickly turned aggressive, demanding compliance and searching through the property for valuables.

The suspects eventually fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of stolen property. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

As of now, no arrests have been made, and authorities continue to search for those responsible. The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office is urging anyone with information or surveillance footage from the area to contact investigators.
