Two Tucumcari residents assaulted during an early morning home invasion

Tucumcari police are searching for two men who reportedly forced entry into a home on the 900 block of South First Street and assaulted the residents.

Details of the crime cannot be released, as it is still an active investigation, said Jason Braziel, chief of police.

Braziel said officers responded to a 911 call from a woman who said two armed men had broken into their home and assaulted her boyfriend and held them at gunpoint.

According to reports, two men kicked in the back door of the home just after midnight Monday, then began to assault the residents.

More information will be posted as it becomes available.
