Two Sanford women called police to report a home invasion, but then changed their story when the police found drug paraphernalia. The two women, both from Georgia, changed their story when police questioned them.

According to the original complaint, the women said three men in ski masks got into their apartment through a sliding glass door, put pillows over the heads of the women and held guns to them. A computer and cell phone were stolen. When drug paraphernalia was found, the women then said two men had been cooking up narcotics and then picking up what was produced. The alleged robbers showed up later demanding drugs and then took a shoebox with cocaine in it.

Police have said the women refused to sign statements and that there is no active search on for the gunmen.

Homes and apartments are often used to manufacture and sell drugs from. However, the drug trade is notorious for double- and triple-dealing as the customer becomes the robber, or the dealer becomes the thief. It is up to the courts to decide what, if any, punishment the alleged drug dealers, drug users, and thieves get. It is the job of criminal defense lawyers to make sure these people are fairly represented and understand the charges against them.
