Suffolk police are searching for three men who robbed an elderly victim at gunpoint in his home Friday night.

Their investigation revealed that the man in the home had been confronted by three unknown black males who had entered the home and then demanded money.
One of the suspects held the victim at gunpoint, while the others retrieved what officials called “an undetermined amount of currency.”
All three subjects then fled the scene in a small four-door vehicle. The victim was not injured in the robbery.
