Greene County deputies believe two early morning home-invasions were likely perpetrated by the same two men, who were armed, clad in dark-colored clothing and remain at-large.
Deputies say a woman woke up early this morning and discovered two men in the kitchen of her home in the 3300 block of South Clifton, just southwest of Springfield city limits.
The men fled the woman’s home and, deputies think, the pair made off with the woman’s debit card, according to sheriff’s office news release.
That debit card was used in a nearby gas station. Deputies were able to retrieve surveillance footage from the store and are asking the public for help identifying the subjects depicted in the video.
Within a few hours, another home invasion occurred, deputies say. This time, the intruders were more aggressive.
Armed with rifles, two man confronted residents of a home in the 3800 block of South Cottage.
The men demanded items before fleeing the scene, according to the news release.
Detectives say the convenience store video footage revealed the suspects were driving a green or teal Ford Explorer with no license plates.
The news release did not reveal how the suspects gained entry into the homes but Sheriff Jim Arnott warned county citizens to avoid become victims.
“Secure your doors at night. Remove any valuables and garage door openers from vehicles parked outside,” he said in the release.
If you have any information regarding the home invasions, deputies ask that you contact Greene County Detective Sgt. James at 417-829-6288 or call the Greene County Sheriff’s tip line at 417-828-6230.
