More fun from the city of brotherly love:
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — An Eyewitness News exclusive — a violent home invasion has Philadelphia police hunting for some preteen suspects.
Authorities say they beat a 51-year-old woman with some unusual items, including a plunger.
Police say it happened around 3:30 p.m. on Monday in the 1200 block of Luzerne Street.
Authorities say a family friend found the victim in the backyard, on her knees, crying and begging for her life to be spared.
When police arrived, they found her room ransacked, cabinets emptied and the victim, an Asian female with mental disabilities, beaten and robbed.
“They hit her in the face with a rock, they used rope and also sticks and a potted plant,” Lt. John O’Hanlon explained.
Police say the three suspects, described by the victim as black juveniles, ran away with the victim’s purse. Police were eventually able to identify the suspects as 7, 10 and 12-year-old boys.
