In a brazen daylight robbery, a family’s home was invaded while they were attending church on Sunday.

The thieves took all of the family’s Christmas presents along with other valuables.

Nina and Chris Woods say that not only were the gifts and valuables stolen, the thieves helped themselves to the family’s financial records, taking bank account and credit card numbers.

The family is now living in fear of the thieves returning to the home.  The children have been sent to stay with relatives for Christmas while their parents pack up the remaining belongings and try to find a new home before the end of the week.

“We can’t have the kids up in here if the door could get kicked in again. They could try and do it when we are here one day,” Chris told WCCO.

Minneapolis police say they are working hard to catch whoever committed the robbery.
