MT. HOLLY TWP., N.J. (CBS) – Police in Mount Holly Township are investigating a home invasion and sexual assault that took place Thursday.
The incident occurred on the 200 block of Holeman Street around 9:20 p.m.
According to police, one resident went outside to get a purse from her vehicle and was met by a suspect with a handgun.
Allegedly, the armed suspect and a second suspect walked the victim back into the house and then tied up all of the residents with nylon zip ties. One of the victims was then assaulted with brass knuckles, says police.
