3 Residents Tied Up During Home Invasion
Two men stole jewelry and a small amount of cash after entering a Stanton home Monday and tying up three residents at gunpoint, Orange County sheriff’s authorities said.
The robbers, who wore black stockings over their faces, entered the home in the 8100 block of Laguna Court through a back door at about 10 a.m., took the items and fled in a red Honda Prelude, sheriff’s spokesman John Fleischman said. One of the men carried a handgun, he said.
“We estimate that the victims were tied up about 20 minutes,” Fleischman said. “Somebody came to the home and found them and called the Sheriff’s Department.”
The residents--a 31-year-old woman, her 74-year-old mother and a 19-year-old roommate--were not injured, Fleischman said.
