An 81-year-old man escaped from a Maryland home after police say two people held him against his will and poured heated syrup on him to force him to reveal a safe combination.
According to the Cecil County Sheriff’s Office, the man went to a woman’s home in Elkton on Wednesday to bring a money gift for her child’s birthday. Police said he did not know another person would be inside.
Investigators purported that the two suspects planned to lure the man to the home, restrain him and take his belongings. They also allegedly wanted access to his Delaware home and safe.
