Child duct-taped during home invasion
Police are looking for two men who allegedly restrained a child during a home invasion.
According to reports, the suspects forced themselves into a home on the 6600-block of Rutland Street around 3 p.m., where they then duct-taped a 10-year-old boy who was in the home.
The men fled the house, but it’s unclear if anything was taken. The investigation is ongoing.
