GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. -- Gwinnett police are investigating a new lead they hope will bring to justice two men accused of forcing their way into a home demanding money.

Officials have released new photos of a person of interest in a home invasion that happened on March 11 in the area of Hanover West Court - a street outside of Lawrenceville, Georgia.

Police said that the suspects forced their way into the home and demanded money. The victims said the men then took a piece of jewelry when they were told there was no money to give.

Authorities believe the men, described as Hispanic males escaped in a dark or black car. In a statement to the public, Gwinnett County police didn't refer to the man in the photo as one of the suspects but believe he may know something about the crime.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Detective Montero at 770-513-5372 or provide anonymous tips to CrimeStoppers at 404-577-8477 (TIPS). Tipsters are eligible for a reward of up to $2,000 if their information leads to an arrest and indictment.
