"As far as what the victim stated, she has no idea who these individuals were," Alpharetta Police Spokesperson Jason Muenzer.

Neighbors said they were shocked to hear of the crime happening in their area.

"To happen to anybody that's shocking. Especially around here. Avalon is just three blocks away. They're building this all up. Yes, it's very shocking," said neighbor Lloyd Davis.

A woman in the home told Petchenik she was too afraid to speak about what happened. Davis said he can understand why and hopes cops catch the home invaders.

"I hope they pay. Hope they pay dearly. I can't imagine what these people are going through right now," Davis said.

Investigators have put out a lookout to surrounding police departments. They ask anyone with information to give them a call.
