• Three masked intruders forced entry, threatened two occupants, demanded cash, and exited by the same route after obtaining about S/30,000.
• Authorities report the front door was pried open and that at least one assailant carried a firearm.
• Investigators are analyzing nearby CCTV and conducting operations, with Piura’s criminal investigation unit collecting evidence and no arrests reported.
