BATON ROUGE - Police are currently investigating a home invasion in the 1100 block of Wylie Drive in Baton Rouge Wednesday morning.

According to Baton Rouge Police, officers were investigating a series of burglaries in the Woodstone subdivision. A burglary on East Woodruff Drive sparked the search for the burglars. According to police, the burglars previously stole a car in St. Tammany, drove it to Baton Rouge and abandoned it along Woodruff Drive.

Police say the two burglars were chased on foot when they hid in the home on Wylie Drive.

Police say the resident was not home at the time of the invasion, but once he arrived he confronted the men. According to authorities, the victim was attacked and tied up in the house, however he did not need to go to the hospital.

“The home owner came home and the suspects were inside,” BRPD Sgt. Don Coppola said.

BRPD confirmed that the suspects fled from the home in the victim's car, a blue 2015 Ford Mustang, with a New Mexico license plate reading "TOPRAK."

I guess it's less conspicuous than a pink Mary Kay Caddy. (Saw one the other day, BTW.)

I used to live off Kenilworth. Decent neighborhood, but I hated it.

Not sure why the police and paper are calling this a HOME INVASION other than to be dramatic.

Home Invasion = they break in while you are home.

Burglary = they break in when you are NOT home.

This was the latter. The definitions aren't up for debate.

Pretty sure that once they tied him up they entered into a whole new realm of charges..

I know exactly where it is but the actual crime occurred in woodstone.

Attributing what happened on Wylie to the neighborhood is like a speeder turning into a neighborhood on a high speed chase and then saying speeding is out of control in that neighborhood

Must've been where these two cop cars were going to around 11 this morning. We're flying down highland near Kenilworth into a neighborhood.

Is Woodstone a bad place to live now?

No. The only area along highland that is slightly questionable south of lsu is near staring and highland around kingcrest

All of those older neighborhoods off highland aren't as desirable as they once were. Look how white oak landing and Shenandoah have been rapidly declining for years now.
