A 52 year old man called Corpus Christi Police after he was able to free himself after being tied up by several suspects who had hid in his home in the 4900 block of Gabriel Drive.

The victim told Officers that he had returned home from the grocery store and was in his kitchen putting items away when three men, who had their faces covered with masks, came out of a bedroom and started to assault him.  The man was hit in the face several times, and then one of the suspects sprayed something in his face causing him blindness.

The suspects then used duct tape to tie the victim’s hands behind his back and tie his legs together. He was placed on the kitchen floor as the suspects continued to ransack the house.  Before leaving the suspects began to check the victim’s pants pockets and they took his cell phone, wallet and a debit card. They also demanded the keys to the victim’s vehicle.

The suspects then left the house taking the victims white 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe, his personal property and a flat screen television.

The victim, who was not seriously injured, was able to free himself a short time later and call police.
