A violent home invasion occurred this week when a trio of men tied up a 14-year-old girl and stole $7,500 plus other valuables.
Police say that on Aug. 14, at 10 p.m., three men broke into an apartment in the vicinity of Bruckner Boulevard and Pugsley Avenue by prying the front door open with a crowbar.
Upon entering, they found a 14-year-old girl, who they quickly tied up by binding her hands with USB cables. They then ransacked the home and stole $7,500, jewelry, perfume, handbags and shoes before fleeing. The girl sustained bruising to her wrists, but refused medical attention.
