PROVIDENCE, RI -- The two armed men who knocked at the door of a house in Fox Point last night knew just what they wanted and just where to get it, according to the Providence Police.

When one of the residents at 76 Gano St. opened the door sometime after 8:30 p.m., one of the men pointed a gun at him and a visiting Barrington man and demanded access to a locked bedroom belonging to Luke Znosko, according to a police report.

The 18-year-old man wasn't home, but the two armed men broke into his bedroom, grabbed a gray Century fire safe holding a large amount of cash, and took off, Providence Police Maj. Thomas Oates said. Another resident called the police. No one was injured.
