The Clarksville Police Department is looking into accusations of rape and armed robbery at Hamlet Apartments on Marlowe Court a week ago.
Two Hispanic males told police that they were pistol whipped and tied up and robbed of about $675 on June 18. They claimed that two Honduran men held them at gunpoint and forced them into another apartment room. While there, two more Honduran men allegedly demanded money.
They said two other men and a female were tied up in the apartment. They said the four men tied them up with their shoestrings and pistol whipped them. They also claim the woman was taken to a back room and raped while they were present.
The four men were allegedly armed with semi-automatic pistols and left in a blue sport utility vehicle, possibly a Chevy Tahoe, with dark tinted windows and chrome rims.
The first suspect was in his early 20s, about 5 feet 6 inches and 135 pounds and wearing a white T-shirt with a red hat. He had a large scar on his forehead. A second suspect was 5 feet 8 inches and 170 pounds and was wearing brown shorts and a white T-shirt.
Another was 6 feet 2 inches and 200 pounds with a brown shirt and a red hat. The final suspect was 5 feet 8 inches, 170 pounds with brown shorts and shirt and a red hat. All four had brown hair and brown eyes.
Clarksville Police Chief Dwight Ingle said the case is still under investigation and that police believe it may be drug related.
