Pregnant Woman Tied Up During Home Invasion In Quincy

QUINCY (CBS) - Police in Quincy say a pregnant woman was tied up during a home invasion Tuesday afternoon.

Police say the woman and her teenage daughter were inside a home on Presidents Lane when two men kicked in the back basement door.

The woman was tied up with tape. Her daughter ran upstairs, hid in a bathroom and called police.

Husband and father Alan Eng says the men were in his home for nearly 10 minutes. "She's very scared," Eng said. "She locked up herself and tried calling 911. And then, the cops got here very fast."

Officers responded to the home and arrested 22-year-old Kevin Murphy of Revere after a short chase. Murphy faces several charges including assault and battery and kidnapping.

Police are searching for another man who is possibly armed with a gun.

One firearm was recovered by police at the scene.

The woman, who is six months pregnant, was transported to the hospital as a precaution.

Police do not believe the break-in was random.
