Terror on Bunker Hill Street: Woman taped up in her own apartment by gun-wielding thugs who tore the place apart

Boston Police released details of this morning's armed home invasion in Charlestown:

Police say a woman about to enter her apartment at 177 Bunker Hill St. around 10:30 a.m. was grabbed from behind by a guy with a gun who forced her inside as he demanded money. Two more guys and a woman then burst in with him as they forced the woman to lie on the floor of her living room. They then tore through every room in the apartment, police say:

The suspects kept calling the female suspect "K" and referring to one of the males as "Lok". When the suspects were leaving the apartment, the female suspect taped the victim's arms, legs and mouth and placed her in the back bedroom.

Police described a distinctive quartet: The initial gunman was a Hispanic male, 5'5", 120 lbs, dressed all in black and with a teal back pack. One of his accomplices was white guy, 5'11", 120 lbs, with short hair; the other guy was also white, 5'11", 135 lbs. with short hair. The woman was white, 5'2", 150 lbs, clad all in black and with a piercing above her left eyebrow. Police say two of the men had gloves on; two other suspects had guns.

Police say a witness saw the four loading up a red 2002 Acura behind 177 Bunker Hill St. One of the men then split off from the group and got into "a silver/champagne Toyota sedan with aftermarket chrome star-like rims."

With apologies to the victim who no doubt felt terrified and invaded, these four people clearly have a lot of drama going on in their heads. I'll take my boring old family and friends, thanks.
