2 Arrested in Monday Morning Home Invasion

Two Bradenton men are behind bars following a Monday morning home invasion.

The incident happened around 12:05 a.m. in the 3900 block of 37th Street Court West when two men kicked open the home’s door and confronted the residents inside. One of the two men was armed with a small black handgun and held the residents at gunpoint while a search for cash and property was conducted, police said in a media release.
