A Carmel Mountain teenager who was tied up in a violent home invasion spoke to NBC 7 Friday about the moments he was at the mercy of a group of armed robbers.
Jordan Cheng, 15, was robbed in the middle of the night Thursday after three men entered his family’s home through an unlocked door.
More than a day later, welts were visible on his wrists where zip ties were used.
“I first realize what is going on when I see the guys and them telling my brother and father to get on the ground and then tying them up and telling me to put my hands behind my back,” Cheng said.
He said the robbers also tied their feet together with shoelaces.
Cheng, his father and his 25-year-old brother were all tied up in his room in their Carmel Mountain home.
The men pointed a gun at his brother and began to demand money, he said.
The family gave them money that was in their wallets but the thieves also took gaming consoles.
The suspects in the home invasion have not been arrested.
Cheng told NBC 7 he wants the community to help police track the robbers down.
San Diego Police say this home invasion is connected to others.
Investigators are asking any home owners with surveillance cameras living near Breezeway Place to check the video for any signs of the three hooded men involved.
Cheng says he hopes police catch them soon.
