Coon Rapids home invasion does not appear to be random, police say

Police responded to a report at 2:50 a.m. on Friday of a home invasion that occurred around three hours earlier in the 10400 block of Wintergreen Street Northwest.

A man at the home told police that three male individuals wearing ski masks — one of whom had a gun — entered the residence. The suspects told him and a friend to lay down. They covered the two individuals with a blanket and tied them up before rummaging through the house, said Anoka County Sheriff's Capt. James Stuart. The suspects took items from the residence, but Stuart declined to say what was taken.

It would be interesting to know the definition of 'not random' in this case. Generally, if a drug dealer is the victim of a home invasion, the police are quick to report it.
