Two Henderson County Men Wanted in Tuesday Home Invasion
The Henderson County Sheriffs Department has issued arrest warrants for two men they believe to have invaded a Bald-Bluff home early Tuesday morning.

Sheriffs Deputies say the suspects entered the Henderson County home, northeast of Oquawka, around one o'clock Tuesday morning and pistol-whipped three individuals inside.

They say the victims include a 59-year old woman, her daughter, and man-- who were all transported by Oquawka Ambulance Service to a nearby hospital.

According to authorities, the three victims sustained trauma to the head and facial bruises. Their current condition is unknown.

Reports indicate a gun was fired and cash was stolen from the Bald-Bluff residence. An initial statement from Henderson County Sheriff Steven Haynes yesterday showed an Illinois State Police SWAT team was called to the scene.

Warren and Mercer County Sheriffs Deputies, along with the U-S Marshals, are assisting in the ongoing investigation.

Authorities ask if you have any more information regarding Tuesday's alleged home invasion to please contact the Henderson County Crimestoppers.
