2 Tampa Residents 'Zip-Tied' During Home-Invasion Robbery

TAMPA, FL - Two Tampa residents were restrained with zip ties after two men broke into their home on the 1400 block of West Yukon Street, police said this morning.

The two occupants, who were not injured, said the robbers forced their way inside through the house's front door, demanded property and fled with small electronics and jewelry, the Tampa Police Department said.

The pair told officers that they were restrained during the ordeal with zip ties, that did not come from inside the residence, and called police after they were able to free themselves.

The suspects were described only as black and Hispanic, and left the scene by unknown means, police said.

The case is under investigation, and anyone with information can call the Tampa police at (813) 231-6130.
