St. Cloud police are investigating a home invasion and burglary reported Wednesday morning.
Police were called at 9:55 a.m. Wednesday to an apartment in the 1400 block of 12th Avenue North. A neighbor found a 37-year-old woman in the hall with duct tape over her mouth, Sgt. Jerry Edblad said.
The woman said three men walked into her unlocked apartment and tied her up with shoe strings, Edblad said. The men struck her in the head with an object and kicked her several times. She was not seriously injured.
Lock your doors!
After 30 minutes, the men left with jewelry and several items from her purse. The woman said she did not know the men, Edblad said. She was able to free herself from the shoe strings and get into the hallway, where a neighbor found her, he said. An infant was home at the time but was not injured.
A woman, home alone with a baby, didn't lock her doors. In this day and age, there is a word for that, but it's not polite. I am not blaming the victim. This crime is the fault of the criminals. There are, however, things that can be done to lessen the likelihood of becoming a victim. Locking your doors takes seconds.
