DETROIT - Detroit Police are looking for three gunmen armed with assault rifles, who burst into a home and terrified a family of five. The home invaders stole a television, car and several marijuana plants.

Walter Johnson, his girlfriend and their three children had a harrowing experience as three home invaders broke into their house on Fielding.

Johnson explained what the experience was like for him and his family, "Very scary. I'm about to pack up and leave Michigan."

The children were unharmed, but the thieves armed with assault weapons got in through a back window, opened a side door and then tied up Johnson and his girlfriend and ransacked their home.

"'Where the money at? Where the money at?' Told them we had no money. Had a jar of change. They took my jar of change... They took my Charger," said Johnson.

Johnson said he had the marijuana for medicinal purposes, and that he does have a card for it. "It was nothing but five plants, and they were just real small," he said.

Johnson says he's not sure the home invaders were aware he had marijuana plants in the home. However, police believe the pot plants may have been the motive for the home invasion and robbery.
