Armed robbers who broke into a family home and attempted to steal a three-month old baby were thwarted by the pet dog.

New mother Nayeli Garzon-Jimenez, from West Regent Street, Indianapolis, was with her young daughter when a pair of robbers broke into the house in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

After demanding money one of the thieves grabbed the baby and tried to flee through the back door as the second thief hit Mrs Garzon-Jimenez over the head with the butt of a pistol.

But the criminals were halted in their tracks by one of the family's two dogs who forced the couple to go back into the house and as the pair rushed towards the front door they 'threw' the baby back to a relieved mother.

Ms Garzon-Jimenez's husband Adolfo Angeles-Morales who was at work when the frightening break-in took place said he was extremely relieved.

He told WishTV.com : 'Thank God everything’s okay, my baby and my wife.'



The father was on the phone to his wife when she first heard the sound of glass smashing downstairs, but was to far way to reach her.

He said: 'I hear the noise over my phone and she started screaming and crying, and said, someone just stuck their hand in the door,'

Mrs Garzon-Jimenez said the male intruder told her to give him money or he would take her baby.



After telling him she didn't have any money she says the woman grabbed her baby. Mrs Garzon-Jimenez says she tried to stop the woman from going to the kitchen, but was struck over the head with a gun.

However, as the pair of intruders tried to escape they were greeted by an unwelcome surprise. Mr Angeles-Morales added: 'She try to run away through the back door, but one of the doggies- he didn’t let her go through the back door.'

Mrs Garzon-Jimenez says as the thieves ran back through the house the woman intruder threw the baby back into her arms.



The mother and her baby girl were treated and released at Wishard Hospital. Mrs Garzon-Jimenez had a cut on her forehead from being hit with the gun, and bruises on her body. Her baby was not injured.



Police are looking for a black man around 35 years old, 6ft 2in, heavy set with light skin, a close-cut beard and acne scars.

He is believed to be armed and dangerous.

The other suspect is a black woman in her mid twenties about 5ft 10in, heavy build with braided hair pulled back in a pony tail. She had two lip piercings and an eyebrow piercing.
