St. Paul police are warning today about a series of home invasion robberies, where force has been used to steal jewelry.

The assailants used a ruse to gain entry — such as needing to use the phone or the bathroom; in one case, the suspect asked about an in-home daycare, Panos said. It wasn't clear from a report whether children were present at the daycare, he said.

Inside the home, the suspects have used physical force or pointed a handgun at victims before stealing jewelry they're wearing, Panos said. People have been left with minor injuries, he said.

Don't let strangers in your home. It's just not worth it.
