On 12/22 around 11:15pm, two men (one with a gun) broke into the apartment of a family in Bloomington demanding to know where "John" was. The family didn't know of this person. Apparently, the perps entered the wrong house.
...
In addition to the man, a 34-year-old woman, a 16-year-old boy and a 14-year-old boy were in the apartment at the time. All were in the living room when the suspects entered.
Ultimately the family's efforts were successful and the assailants fled the apartment, according to police reports. They took no money or other property.
...
This family was lucky that the assailants weren't interested in doing any harm to them.
Law Enforcement acted quickly to detain the fleeing invaders:
Off-duty Officer Joe Spark was working at a nearby hotel when he heard 911 dispatchers describe the home invasion, Herman said. Moments later, Spark spotted a suspicious vehicle and trailed it.
As other squad cars joined in following the vehicle, it pulled into the SuperAmerica station at 7720 Nicollet Ave. S. Three suspects got out and bolted on foot, Herman said.
"We set up perimeters around the area," he said. "Richfield cops and the State Patrol helped."
Officer Mike Vonderhaar and his canine partner, Hugo, found one suspect hiding along railroad tracks near 77th and Pillsbury Avenue, Herman said.
"Then they located the other two hiding under trees near 77th and Pillsbury," Herman said.
