Police are asking the public for help finding three suspects.

Howard County Police are offering a reward of up to $2,500 for information about a home invasion in which three suspects tied up and robbed a man in his Glenelg home, apparently targeting that home specifically.

According to police, the victim answered a knock at his door just after 7 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 11. When he opened the door, police say one of the suspects showed a gun and the three forced their way into the house on the 13700 block of Triadelphia Road. The suspects are described as two white men and one white woman.

The suspects demanded cash from the house’s safe, according to police, who believe the house was specifically targeted. The victim complied, police said, giving the suspects the cash before being tied up.
