Upper Darby police are searching for three men they say tied up a father and son during a daytime home invasion on Monday, according to the Delaware County Daily Times.
The home invasion, police say, happened around noon.
Police say that three armed men rang the doorbell of the home. The boy answered and the men asked for his father, reports the paper.
”They came right inside, threatened to shoot the boy,” police Superintendent Michael Chitwood told the Times.
The suspects tied the boy up in the basement and left him there, said police.
The Delco Times reports that from there they found the father and demanded he give them money. They tied him up with rubber tubing from a breathing machine.
He was able to jump out of a window and make it to a phone to call 9-1-1.
Police found the younger victim in the basement uninjured.
Police say that all three suspects are black males in their 20s, just under six-feet tall. All were thin to medium build. They’re describing one of the suspects as having overlapping front teeth and another with curly hair, according to the paper.
The Times reports that the men fled the home with $700 cash, a gun and ammunition.
