Bellevue police are looking for five suspects — who they say followed a mother and son home and held them at gunpoint.

At a Factoria apartment complex, police officers stood in the kitchen of a second-floor apartment, its front door open, pouring light out into the early morning dark. At the same time, they tried to find any signs of the suspects.

Bellevue police told ³ÉÈËXÕ¾ 7, five suspects followed the woman home from a casino, where they allegedly robbed her and her son at home — three of the thieves holding rifles.

Jason Hoang was at home at the time of the robbery around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday and said he was held at gunpoint along with his mother.

“I just woke up and they pointed a gun at my face,” Hoang told ³ÉÈËXÕ¾ 7.

Jason said he woke up to a nightmarish situation when armed men stormed his apartment after following his mother home from her job at a casino.

“She just got out of the car and then they just point guns at her and stuff,” Hoang said.

Police got there minutes after the group left. Authorities don’t have a description of them or their getaway car.
