GREENBELT, Md. (WJZ) -- Two roommates to their apartment after vacation this month and found two strangers in bed. Their furniture, food, clothing and kitchen cabinet doors were all gone, Greenbelt police said.
The residents of the apartment, located in the 9300 block of Edmonston Road, told police they had left their fully furnished home on March 28 and returned from vacation on April 5 to find their front door damaged and the apartment a shambles.
The residents found trash on the walls and trash bags filled with belongings in the living room. Police said all of the furniture in the home was gone except for a bed, on which the residents found the man and woman.
