Three Anchorage men were put behind bars Sunday night after breaking into a Mountain View home and violently attacking one of the people inside during a robbery, according to Anchorage police.

At 3:45 a.m. on Saturday, police responded to a home invasion call on the 3300 block of Tarwater Avenue.

Police report that three men forced their way into the Mountain View apartment, pistol-whipped one man in the face, demanded money and threatened to shoot the four people inside, including a baby.

Raymond Thomas, 19, Cedrius Carter, 26, and L.C Shelton Whitlow, 35, were arraigned on charges of robbery, burglary, kidnapping, misconduct involving weapons, assault and conspiracy.
Also, because of a recent change to state law, all three men were denied bail.

Judge Brock Shamberg told the suspects that “no combination of factors that can be set as conditions of your bail that would adequately protect the public and protect the victims in this case."

The suspects are scheduled to be back in court July 12.

Police are also pursuing a fourth person suspected to be the getaway driver.

If you have any information on where this person might be, contact Anchorage police at 786-8900 or, to remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward, call Crime Stoppers at 561-STOP (7867).
