Teenager Kidnapped During Home Invasion In Cranberry

(WPXI) – A 17-year-old was bound and kidnapped during a home invasion in Cranberry overnight. Police say they were called to Stockton Ridge, a gated community, for a reported kidnapping around 1:30. A 39-year-old woman told police that two men with weapons entered her home and bound her and her 17-year-old son and ransacked the home. The men left with the woman’s son at gunpoint. They fled in the victim’s vehicle, abandoning it a short distance away, where police believe another vehicle was waiting. Then, police say, Beaver County 911 received a call around 5 this morning from the 17-year-old. He was calling from a convenience store in Rochester and has since been reunited with his mother. Authorities say they believe the robbery was not random and that the family was targeted for unknown reasons.
