(Marshall County) ? A terrifying home invasion in Mississippi. Burglars bust into a Lamar, MS home and douse a woman and three children with gasoline. It happened just before 11 p.m. Wednesday night in the 400 block of Early Grove Road.
The woman was with her 9-year-old sister, and her 3-month-old and her one-year old children when the men armed with gasoline entered their home.
?The ordered everybody inside the residence including three children to lay on the floor in the living room area,? Kelly McMillan with the Marshall County Sheriff?s Office said.
McMillan said the burglars then doused the family with gasoline.
?It was a gallon and a half gas can,? he said. ?I?m not sure how much gas was in the can, but they started to sprinkle it all over the house.
The men then walked out of the home with a big screen T.V., but as they went down the steps the T.V. fell. Investigators say hey got in a car and drove off.
Police believe Qwanesha Rhine and Shantel Fitzpatrick? were the getaway drivers. This afternoon they were arrested for attempted aggravated robbery and burglary.
?Now investigators are looking for the three men involved. The suspects are 20-year-old Martin Mitchell of Holly Springs,? 20-year-old Cedric McNeil of Memphis, and the third wanted person is a juvenile.
?Hopefully they?ll do the right thing and turn themselves in, but if not we?ll do everything we need to do to get them into custody,? McMillan said.
Police were able to collect evidence at the scene, including the gas can that was used in the assault.
?That?s crazy. Somethings wrong with them,? the victim?s cousin Q?Tavious Jones said.
Jones can?t believe his cousins were attacked with gasoline and robbed. He hopes those responsible are caught soon.
?They should be put in jail,? he said.
When we showed family members pictures of the two women already arrested, hey told us Rhine is related to the victim. A sad discovery, they say, in this traumatizing story for their family.
Marshall County investigators believe the three men could be connected to another home invasion in the county earlier this week. They say three men busted into a home armed with guns on Monday night in Byhalia. They are believed to be driving a 1980?s model Ford Mustang.
