Home invasion suspect caught

Police have captured one of four suspects in a home invasion Tuesday night at 330 Tara Hill Road in Bartonsville, Monroe County. The incident occurred at 7:30 p.m. Police believe the incident was not a random act, believing the suspects laid in wait until the target returned home with his children. He was tied up with duct tape. Fortunately one of the children stayed outside moving some garbage bags when he heard the confrontation inside the home. He called 911 on his cell phone with police, responding in minutes, startled the intruders. As they ran police managed to grab one of them. He has told police he is from Philadelphia. Police are still searching for the other three. Neighbors have reported seeing a vehicle with blacked out windows sitting in the area for most of the day eyeing up the home.
