(KRON) — Three children and an adult were held at gunpoint inside their Windsor home by robbers who demanded drugs, according to the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office.

The home invasion happened at 2:20 a.m. on May 3 on Windsor Road. Emergency dispatchers received a 911 call from a resident who lived on the property. “The caller was woken up by a loud crash and saw people with guns go into another house on the property,” SCSO wrote.

Investigators said five people broke into the house. One person in the group pointed a gun at the children and adult. When they heard sirens approaching from sheriff’s deputies, the group fled from the property.

Investigators used a drone to search the area, and by 7 a.m., deputies found and arrested one suspect.

“Meanwhile, Violent Crimes detectives identified two cars related to the incident and issued ‘be on the lookouts’ for both cars. One car was tracked to the East Bay and stopped in San Leandro,” the sheriff’s office wrote.

Three people who were inside the car were arrested in San Leandro by Alameda County Sheriff’s deputies. Deputies also found the second car, in Santa Rosa, and arrested a fifth suspect.

Five suspects were booked into a Sonoma County jail on felony robbery and conspiracy charges:

  • Jose Armenta Bribiesca, 21, of Santa Rosa
  • Yahlonzo Blunt, 24, of Hayward
  • Gene Mann III, 25, of Oakland
  • Leland Revell Jr., 27, of Stockton
  • Nahom Yemane, 25, of Oakland

By Monday afternoon, Bribiesca, Blunt, Revell, and Yemane had all bailed out of jail, the sheriff’s office said. They each posted $100,000 bail.

Mann is the only suspect who remains in custody without bail.
