Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Lunchtime? In Mesa, it's home invasion time.
Just before 12:30 yesterday afternoon, two men kicked in the front door of a home near Country Club Drive and Brown, Mesa police say. Not even a knock, apparently. They tied up the woman who owned the place and "ransacked the house."
This line in the incident report kind of threw us: "At this time it is unknown what was taken." They were looking for something, that much is clear.
Police description of bad guys below:
Suspect #1: H/M 504/160 short, round in stature, wearing blk t-shirt Suspect #2: W/M 600, bro hair, wearing grey or blk t-shirt
weapons: one carrying a knife, the other a long gun
