Police: Wedding Ring Ripped Off Woman in Palm Desert Home Invasion Robbery

Police are looking for two men wanted in connection to an early morning home invasion robbery that left a homeowner with minor injuries and no wedding ring, a sheriff's official said.

Riverside County Sheriff's Sergeant Ken Black says the incident happened around 2:30 a.m., in the 73000 block of Ironwood Street, just southeast of El Paseo and Highway 74.

Black says two men entered the elderly woman's home through a doggie door.

"The investigation revealed two unknown male suspects entered the residence via an unsecured doggie door attached to the master bedroom slider," the sergeant said.  

That's when they targeted the homeowner-- in her bed.

"Once inside the suspects forcibly removed the wedding ring from the elderly female victim sleeping in her bed."

Neither the woman nor her caretaker, who was the only other person at the house, got a good look at her assailants, as they were described as wearing all black clothing, with masks covering their faces.

She did suffer minor injuries in the attack, but was treated by medical personnel at the scene, Black said.

Sheriff's officials say no other items were taken in the break-in.
