At about 8:12 a.m. Aug. 2, officers responded to the 8800 block of Manchester Rd. for the report of a home invasion robbery. An adult female victim told officers that five suspects entered her apartment, bound them and kept them like that overnight before they fled from the home early in the morning. The suspects also stole a car, cash and property from the apartment, police said.
