Police have arrested two men in connection with a home invasion early Sunday in Palolo and are looking for two more suspects.

The suspects were armed with shotguns, handguns and knives, police said.

The home invasion happened about 3:48 a.m. at 2001 10th Ave.

Police said the suspects entered the home looking for drugs and money, and tied up the seven occupants of the home.

The suspects, all in their 20s, allegedly stole cell phones, a laptop and money from the home, police said.

In the home invasion, four occupants of the home sustained minor injuries, including lacerations to the head and minor knife puncture wounds.

The occupants of the home are unrelated and several are college students.

Police said the suspects fled on foot up a hillside behind the home and one was caught shortly afterward by police.

Specialized services officers caught a second man, who was hiding on the hillside, later in the morning.

Two other suspects are still at large.
