Two armed men broke into a home in the YE Smith neighborhood of Durham Saturday night.
The men held 11 people at gunpoint in the home, located in the 1100 block of S. Hoover Road, and assaulted several of them before fleeing with cash and other items, according to a Durham Police Department statement.
DPD is seeking Durham resident Christopher Keith Cook, 33, in connection with the incident. He is charged with first-degree burglary, assault inflicting serious injury, several counts of second-degree kidnapping and several counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, the statement said.
According to North Carolina Department of Corrections records, Cook has a lengthy criminal record stretching back to 1992. He was released from prison in January 2009 after serving an 8 year sentence for several drug-related felonies.
