Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard says the two men, who were driving a white pickup truck with a DTE plate, pulled up to the house last night and tried to get in but were denied entry.

On Friday, officials said the men tried again, claiming they were investigating a gas leak in the area.

Bouchard says the husband went down to the basement with the workers but never came back up. The woman reportedly told officers that the men came upstairs, bound her with duct tape and searched the house for about 20 minutes before leaving the scene.

The woman is currently in hospital recovering.
