TIE-UP TERROR Tad Stoner

Yesterday’s break-in at Seagull condominiums marked another in a series of at least a dozen home invasions this year. Yesterday, two crime scene detectives wearing protective suits and latex gloves declined to comment on the 4am Thursday break-in. Seagull managers also declined to comment, directing all enquiries to police.

The incident occurred at 3:50am in apartment No. 33, at the back of the complex’s roadside building, when three masked men broke into the unsecured room at the rear of the building, tying up two of the three male occupants. The assailants bound the two with duct tape, police said, while the third “slept undisturbed through the incident”. “One of the offenders was in possession of a hand gun which was discharged in the kitchen area,

although no one was injured,” the statement said, describing the suspects as “black males, slim build and tall, one being about 6’ 3”.” All were wearing hoodies and denim jeans, police said, “with their faces covered.” The trio stole an Apple Mac laptop, an IPod and cell phones. The episode marks at least the 12th home invasion this year, sparking police concerns.
