Springfield Police looking for men connected to burglary, assault

Springfield Police Division investigators are looking for three men suspected of a home invasion and brutal beating.

The victim, who asked not to be identified due to fear of retaliation, lives on East Home Road and is recovering from the assault. He received 30 stitches to his head and ear from the attack last week.

The man has home security cameras that provided police pictures of the suspects and captured the attack.

I just hope somebody sees this footage and brings these individuals in and justice is served, the victim said.

Police are asking residents to contact them if they have any information on the three suspects by calling 937-324-7685.

The men knocked on the mans door about 12:30 a.m. Oct. 2.

The victim opened the door and the intruders burst through and started to attack the man at gunpoint.

They used binoculars and a DVD tower to beat him, and then tied him up with cable wires.

Its hard to explain, the victim said as he recalled the incident. I thought in my head, I need to keep calm to keep them calm and stay alive.

The men left the home with three boxes, believed to be full of baseball cards and Christmas decorations.
