In July of 2014, two white males armed with handguns forced entry into a Smyrna residence. Once inside, the two men claimed to be undercover police officers.

The residence was occupied by four females ranging from age 24 to 73 and two small children, ages 6 and 4. One of the men held the occupants at gun point while the other searched the residence. The two suspects fled the scene on foot and got into to a waiting vehicle. Luckily, no one was physically injured during this incident.
