MANATEE COUNTY, FL -- Deputies are looking for suspects following a home invasion Tuesday night.
A 14-year-old girl hid in the shower when two armed men broke into her Willows Bridge Loop home shortly before midnight. Deputies went to the home after a frantic call to 9-1-1 that someone was in the house.
The caller said one of the men was wearing camouflage clothes and a protective vest while holding an AK-47 weapon and the other suspect had dark clothing and a handgun.
Deputies arrived and saw two to three men running from the home. They were seen getting into a maroon colored Dodge Neon parked nearby.
A deputy told the suspects to show their hands as he approached the car. The driver took off in reverse, driving between two houses before hitting a utility meter and one of the home's A/C unit.
Two suspects abandoned the car and even though detectives used a K-9 unit to aid in the search, they got away.
A search of the car turned up a handgun.
Afterward, the girl told detectives she heard noise in the home. She said she hid in the bathroom and called 9-1-1.
One of the suspects managed to get into the locked bathroom and found her hiding in the shower and demanded money. When asked whom she had called the teen told the suspect she called her mom.
The teen was not harmed.
