Police have released surveillance footage in their search for a group of men who broke into a Rockville, Maryland, apartment after assaulting the owner earlier this month. The Montgomery County Police Department said officers responded to a home invasion at a Key West Avenue apartment complex around 1:25 a.m. on Monday, July 10. According to investigators, six suspects wearing black clothing approached a male resident who had parked in the building’s garage. The group stabbed the man, zip-tied his hands and forced him into their own vehicle. Police believe the suspects then coerced the man into giving them access to his apartment, where they stole a safe containing cash and jewelry. Surveillance footage published Wednesday showed the suspects pushing the victim into an elevator, and then his own home, hands bound behind his back.
