Armed FBI Impersonators Flee Burbank Home With $20K, Jewelry

The suspects reportedly forced their way into a small home just south of De Bell Golf Course on Fairmont Road shortly after midnight.

The men roughed up at least one of the residents and apparently fled with a briefcase carrying $20,000 in cash, a purse and some jewelry.
