Marenisco — The search continues for the suspects who broke into a Marenisco Township residence early Tuesday morning, assaulted and tied up the homeowner before stealing “money and numerous guns.”

The Gogebic County Sheriff’s Department believes the armed suspects specifically targeted the East Shore Road residence in the Lake Gogebic area, Sheriff Pete Matonich said in a news release.

Matonich told the Daily Globe the resident was treated at Aspirus Ironwood Hospital, but didn’t provide any information on the man’s condition or identity.

An extensive search of the area conducted after the homeowner was able to free himself and notify the police failed to find any suspects.

Officers also executed a search warrant in the city of Ironwood Tuesday as part of the investigation.

Investigators believe the suspects have fled the state, Matonich said in the release, and the investigation is ongoing.
