Elk Grove police are investigating a home invasion robbery after a neighbor responding to cries from the home discovered a resident who had been tied up all day.
Police Department spokesman Officer Christopher Trim said police were called to a home in the 8700 block of Agave Way at 8:33 p.m. Tuesday. A neighbor had gone to the home after hearing cries for help and discovered the resident, a 58-year-old man, in a rear room. The man had been tied up by intruders who entered the house sometime between 7 and 8 a.m., and had partially freed himself when the neighbor found him.
Trim said the resident had been examined by paramedics and did not appear to have been injured.
Trim said it is unclear how two or three males gained entrance to the house. He said one was armed with a gun and one was wearing a blue and white striped polo-style shirt.
They confronted the man in the rear room and tied him up before taking items from the home.
The thieves stole a 2005 white Chevy Corvette with red interior and custom rims. The vehicle's California license plate number is 5NKJ166. The intruders also took two LCD televisions.
Trim said detectives were working with the victim to determine whether other items were missing.
