Police on the southwest Chicago suburb of Oak Lawn were searching for two robbers, who invaded a man's home and robbed him at gunpoint in broad daylight Wednesday.
Just after 2 p.m., Oak Lawn police were called for a home invasion near 90th Street and Sproat Avenue.
A homeowner told police two masked people broke in through his back door, and he confronted them. At that point, one of the invaders pulled a gun on the homeowner, and they stole the homeowner's property and left.
The robbers fled in a newer black Ford Ranger, of which police released photos.

A new day of immigration protests is starting in Los Angeles
Angelenos are demanding the release of people detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), planning to gather in downtown Los Angeles for another day of protests following immigration raids throughout the region — but this time, against the backdrop of a federal National Guard deployment. Immigrant rights groups and unions plan to gather for one of the major actions anticipated in LA today, coinciding with the scheduled arraignment of the prominent labor leader David Huerta who was arrested on Friday. Beyond Huerta, folks are turning out to support coworkers and loved ones. 'These raids are cruel, disruptive, and designed to terrorize immigrant communities. They tear families apart,' the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) said in a statement the day Huerta was arrested. Huerta is President of SEIU California and was detained while 'conducting legal observation of ICE activity in his community,' according to AFL-CIO union leaders. SEIU says Huerta was 'beaten and dragged away.' ICE didn't immediately respond to a request for response from The Verge. At least 118 people were arrested in ICE operations last week, according to a Department of Homeland Security press release on Saturday. Protests have emerged across Los Angeles to stop ICE from detaining community members as part of the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign. President Trump called protesters 'troublemakers and insurrectionists' on Truth Social. On Saturday night, he ordered the National Guard to deploy and crack down on protests against the wishes of Governor Gavin Newsom — marking the first time a president has ordered troops without a governor's assent since 1965. Mayor Karen Bass called the move 'a chaotic escalation' and Newsom said it was 'purposefully inflammatory and [would] only escalate tensions.' Over the weekend, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also threatened to deploy Marines. Demonstrations across the city on Saturday 'remained peaceful,' the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said in a statement that night. But by late Sunday, hours after National Guard troops arrived, clashes escalated as more authorities and protesters gathered. The LAPD authorized the use of 'less lethal munitions' and an Australian reporter was caught on camera being shot by a rubber bullet. A British photojournalist said he was undergoing emergency surgery after being hit by what he believes was a non-lethal round. Waymo suspended its ride services after some of its tagged-up vehicles were set ablaze. LAPD spokesperson Drake Madison says that 42 people have been arrested so far, as of a Monday morning email to The Verge. An interfaith prayer vigil planned for Sunday night was canceled by organizers 'out of an abundance of caution.' A declaration of 'unlawful assembly' was in place overnight for downtown Los Angeles. But 'the tactical alert has been lifted,' Madison said in another email Monday morning.
