Police: Fake Pizza Guys Rob Woman

Suspects Told Woman Her Boyfriend Ordered Her Pizza

A woman was pushed to the ground and robbed at gunpoint at her Seminole County home by two men posing as pizza delivery workers, deputies said.

The Seminole County Sheriff's Office said its Major Crimes Unit is searching for two men involved in the armed robbery and home invasion, which occurred March 10 at 10:30 p.m. on Whitesands Court in Casselberry.

According to a sheriff's report, the victim heard her front doorbell ring and when she looked through the peephole she saw two men in pizza delivery uniforms holding two pizza boxes.

Although the victim did not order pizza, the men said that her boyfriend ordered pizza for her, so she opened the door, according to the police report. The gunmen then pushed the victim to the ground, deputies said.

According to the report, the men stole a safe from the home and fled. The safe contained a Rolex watch, diamond earrings, Orlando Magic tickets, money and a Social Security card.

The men also made the woman duct-tape her ankles and hands and taped her mouth shut and dragged her into another room, deputies said. The woman suffered minor injuries, while two other people in the home were unharmed, deputies said.

The woman described one culprit as a black man with a thin build and about 6 feet tall. The second culprit was described as a white man with a medium build and about 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall.

Police on Thursday released a sketch of the second man.

Anyone with information should contact the Seminole County Sheriff's Office or Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.
