A man tied up an 81-year-old woman during a St. Paul home invasion robbery today and it was at least seven hours before she was found with her hands and legs bound, police said. The woman was not injured.
The man apparently used a ruse to break into the woman's home in the Highland Park neighborhood, said Sgt. Paul Schnell, police spokesman.
The woman, who was not sexually assaulted, told police that early in the morning, before sunrise, she heard a noise near her front door in the 1100 block of St. Paul Avenue. Sunrise was 7:37 a.m. Monday.
When the woman went to check, she saw a man at the door. He said her neighbor's home was being broken into, and asked her to call police.
This is a disturbing reminder that cooperation doesn't guarantee your safety. Criminal, by definition, do no play by society's rules.
