Details

Three suspected home invaders were arrested Tuesday evening following a traffic stop by Fitchburg Police officers. Law enforcement agencies were on the lookout for a silver Kia Sedona after a 25-year old Madison man was beaten, pistol whipped, and choked inside his N. Oak St. residence shortly before 7:00 p.m. The victim said the three suspects entered his home and demanded to know where the drugs were at. Following the beating, the men fled. The victim was able to follow behind them for a short distance and obtained the description of the getaway vehicle. He suffered significant head injuries and was transported by ambulance to a hospital. A hand gun was recovered inside the Sedona. The MPD would like to publically thank the Fitchburg Police Department for helping take these suspected criminals off of the street.
