KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - The search is on for the two men that robbed a family at a motel in North Knoxville.
Knoxville police say it happened just before 12:30 Wednesday morning at the Best Value Inn on Merchants Road.
The suspects went to room 311 at the motel and asked for drugs and then left. They returned later and walked in the open door.
One man held the family at gun point while the other ran sacked the room. They got cash among other things and fled the scene.
One suspect was described as a black man around 5'6, weighing around 140 to 160 pounds wearing a dark colored shirt and shorts. The second was described as a light skinned, possibly hispanic or bi-racial, about 5'7, 140 to 160 pounds. The victims say that neither man looked old enough to drive.
