Suspects wearing shirts saying ``police" invaded a Phoenix home Thursday night in a crime similar to a deadly shooting rampage that happened Sunday night in west Phoenix, police said Friday.

In Thursday's incident, men ``dressed in raid gear, wearing a shirt that says `police' on it, broke into a home," Assistant Police Chief Andy Anderson told News/Talk 92-3 KTAR'S Darrell Ankarlo. ``Two individuals were inside, they were asking for an individual who wasn't there. They ended up pistol-whipping one of them, took some money out of the place and left, ended up leaving the victims there."

Unlike Sunday night when more than 100 shots were fired inside a house in west Phoenix, no shots were fired Thursday, Anderson said. A man was killed Sunday. Three suspects were arrested, but others fled.

The head of the police union, Mark Spencer, told Ankarlo earlier this week that he had seen written reports from command-level officers claiming the suspects Sunday said they were from the Mexican military. Anderson said he had no information to confirm that.

Anderson said Friday that home invasions in the Valley are on the increase and that many of them stem from border issues.

``If you are not involved in smuggling humans, money or guns the other direction on the border, you're probably not going to be a victim of violent crime," Anderson said. ``From time-to-time, we have collateral damage and some very unfortunate situations, but the vast majority of our victims at this point are involved in this kind of activity."
