Suspect possibly helped family locate victim

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Albuquerque police are investigating a bizarre home invasion after a man tied up and left on his kitchen floor by a group of robbers.
    
The call came in to police overnight, from an unusual place.

The victim told police that three men broke into his house Wednesday night just southwest of 98th Street and Central
    
Police responded after 1 o’clock Thursday morning, but the man who lives here said the home invasion actually happened around 9 o’clock Wednesday night.
    
He says he was standing outside when three people forced their way through the front door and tied him up with electrical cords and duct tape, blocking his view with a pillow case.
    
They took his cell phone, his credit cards and the man told police he was so scared for his life that he gave up his pin numbers.
    
Then the suspects got away in the man's blue Mitsubishi, leaving the victim tied up on the kitchen floor for hours.
    
But what's strange about this case, is how police found out.

“The suspects or someone was continually calling family of the victim, letting them know that he had been tied up and left there,” Officer Tasia Martinez said.
    
That is when his family alerted police.
    
The victim did not offer any description of the suspects, other than saying one may have been Hispanic.
    
The man went to the hospital after he says suspects hit him.
     
Police say he will be okay.
