Police say a Northeast Philadelphia family was woken up and tied up by a trio of masked suspects demanding money in a home invasion in Somerton early Friday morning, CBSPhilly reports.
The scary situation, which happened around 1 a.m. on Faraday Street near Maple Avenue, may have been a case of location mix-up on the suspects’ end, according to the family. They told CBSPhilly that they overheard the suspects say, “We have the wrong house.”
The reported revelation came after the suspects had ransacked the house, finding and confiscating only a small amount of cash from a wallet, according to police.
They eventually left the scene, and the victims, a couple in their 60s and their 37-year-old son, were able to free themselves and call the police.
Authorities are still searching for the suspects, CBSPhilly reports.
