Updated: October 24, 2012 - 10:36am

Overland Park Police continue investigating following an aggravated robbery Tuesday evening.

Authorities say they were called to an address in the 9400 block of Nieman Road around 8:50 Tuesday evening on what was initially a 911 open line. Dispatchers reported hearing what they believed to be some type of disturbance in the background.

Officers arrived and made contact with a female who told them that two white males came through her front door, tied her up and hit her across the face with a handgun. The men demanded money and other items.

Following initial interviews, Police determined that the female was not the victim and was not home at the time the incident occurred. The actual victim is a male who remained at the residence and was afraid to talk to the police because he had outstanding warrants.

Police say they continue to investigate the incident as an aggravated robbery.

The suspects are said to be white males with heavy builds, both were last seen wearing white T-shirts. One man had brown hair and the other had blond hair. Both men were armed, one was carrying a shotgun and the other had a handgun.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to call the Greater Kansas City Crime Stoppers TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS (8477) or the Overland Park Police Department's Investigation Division at 913-344-8750.
