A pair of New Yorkers were arrested in Redondo Beach on Sunday morning on suspicion of breaking into a home and tying up two residents for “an extended period of time,” authorities said.
Redondo Beach police received a 911 call just before 6 a.m., according to a news release issued by the department. The unidentified caller said someone was pointing a gun at another person inside a vehicle. The caller hung up, but police traced the call to a residence in the 1900 block of Matthews Avenue, according to the release.
When they arrived at the scene, officers learned that two residents on the block had been victims of a home invasion robbery.
Jesus Velez, 31, of Rochester, N.Y., and Draven Luna, 21, from New York City, were found a short time later in the area and arrested without incident,
