Two elderly women were robbed at knifepoint in their Doney Park-area home Friday. The intruder cut one of the women on the hand and disabled all of their phones before escaping.

According to the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office, at about 2 p.m., the man knocked on the front door of the home on Burris Lane off North Highway 89 and was allowed entry by one of the occupants. The other victim questioned the suspect as to the nature of his business and why he was in her home.

The suspect then demanded money from the two victims and produced a large, 8-to-12-inch knife in a threatening manner. He ordered the women to a bedroom to retrieve their purses, and one of the victims gave him an undetermined amount of cash from her purse before he forcibly took more contents from it.
