Home Invasion 

Shortly before midnight on Saturday, police were dispatched to 11 Dorr Street (Frankie's Mold Making and Casting INC) for a report of a home invasion that had occurred 15 minutes prior. 

Upon arrival, police made contact with the victim who told police there was a knock on the rear door and he opened. Once the door was open, the victim said three males wearing all black, white masks and latex gloves forced their way into his business/residence.

The victim said one subject placed zip ties on his wrists and held him face down on his bed while stating, "If you move or try to contact police I will shoot you."

While that one subject held the victim down the other two subjects searched the residence attempting to locate money. One subject stated to the victim where's the safe, where are you keeping the money.

The victim was then released from the zip ties and brought to the bathroom and was told to stay or again would be shot. 

Police noted the victim's flip phone was then taken and snapped in half, one half was found in the toilet bowl but the other was found under a desk.  The victim told police he waited approximately 5 minutes and stepped out of the bathroom and immediately contacted the police.
