A Southwest Miami-Dade couple was robbed outside their home Wednesday night as they returned from a Broward County casino after winning $10,000, police said.

One of the robbers emptied Gaston Rodriguez's pants pockets of $20,000 while the other robber attempted to steal Yolanda Rodriguez's purse, according to Miami-Dade police.

The couple, in their mid-60s, received minor injuries. Paramedics treated them outside their home in the 2800 block of Southwest 128th Avenue.

The robbers, who covered their faces with bandannas, left the area on foot, police said.

Investigators declined to identify the casino the couple went to.
