The woman was asked about her husband, and when she said he was not home, the men reportedly took three cellphones from her headboard.

She said the robbers then proceeded to the other rooms where there were children and another room where an aunt slept, taking every cellphone they found.

The woman also got robbed of some money she had in the house.
As if that was not enough, the woman said they went on and searched the rest of the house, allegedly stealing clothes, sneakers, a TV, and a laptop.
