LIVE OAK, Calif. (CBS13) – A young boy was tied up after a pair of home invasion suspects found him while he was playing video games, authorities said.

Sutter County investigators said the parents of the 12-year-old victim were Christmas shopping when two men approached their home on Gum Street and began checking for entry points into the home.

The two men entered through an unlocked door at the rear of the home and began searching the home. The victim heard the suspects walking around the kitchen and investigated, stumbling onto the intruders.

Detectives said the boy told them the men tied him up with an extension cord and locked him into one of the rooms in the home.

The two men stole the boy’s video games and 12 jars of medicinal marijuana, police said.

After the suspects drove off in a red vehicle, the boy was able to break free and run to a neighbor’s house for help. He was not seriously injured.

Police are still looking for the suspects, who are described as possibly Hispanic or Asian men in their 20s.

    What part of medicinal marijuana did you not understand?

  • Jarhead

    Quite assumptive of you. You see the word Marijuana and just assume it was the kid’s. Reading actual words isn’t your forte. The weed was medicinal. Which means it was procured legally and by prescription. This kid was playing a video game, yes, but he wasn’t smoking pot. It was more than likely his parents pot. I play video games, and new games are played until played through. Which may include a 4-6 hour session from time to time, but I don’t play every day. I’ve maybe played 24 total hours in the last year. I smoke medical marijuana every day. I am eloquent and have a job in sales. I make my own living and don’t get free money from other tax payers. Next month I’ll be 60. If you keep up this BS of attacking personally, you won’t make it to my age. Especially if you decide to attack in person…please look me up, as this former Marine would be more than happy to educate you in the fine art of self preservation.

    Now some observations about you, seeing as though you like to give your opinion of others you don’t know anything about. I believe you’re a lazy live-in-your-parents-basement non-working living off others because you’re too good to take a menial job that you’re under-qualified to have anyway. You’re either too stupid or lazy to capitalize or punctuate properly or to even follow basic grammar rules. And unfortunately, you’ll probably see this as something to be proud of because someone responded to your post.

    But I bet you feel better putting down someone else…that’s what your type does. Grow yourself before you criticize others. This kid was traumatized by these burglars and all you can do is attack the kid more. You are a moron, plain and simple.

      Dear Jarhead,
      I believe you need to take some more medication for your anger issues, since it doesnt appear to be working.
      Remember that inviting someone to attack you only worked for inspector clouseau, and hes been gone far to long.

        I appreciate you looking out for my best interests, but of course having this moron meet me isn’t going to happen. I was just making a point that I see missed you completely. As you were more than likely just looking for something to say to antagonize me. The only part that got my ire up, was his wanton lack of respect for this kid. I was trying to educate with the use of his own method of attack so he would be able to fathom it. Do you just go around to forums and dribble your views at anyone you feel you can bring down to your level of cranium activity? You missed completely here.

    Right medical, I’m sure. An the parents? Model citizens no doubt, leaving a kid home with video games and marijuana.

    Here in Houston a Deputy’s son was home with his Sis; he shot 1 guy and the other begged not to be shot. Proper gun retention and training saves lives.
    They took the pot and video games; guess that’s what occupied the thieves afternoon…left the TV, Jewels? stupid crooks…

    Inside job. They didn’t just “happen” to find a home with a bunch of weed by “coincidence”. Somebody talked, and they were targeted because of it. Or one or both of the intruders was someone who’d been in the home.
