A horrific crime unfolded earlier this month in small-town North Carolina when a large group of men forced its way into a family’s home and tortured the residents during a sleepover.

Details were initially scarce about the Father’s Day weekend nightmare, but more information has since been released as the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office continues its investigation.

The incident occurred during the early morning hours of Saturday, June 15, in Spout Springs, a census-designated place roughly an hour south of Raleigh, according to law enforcement. Sheriff’s deputies arrived sometime after 2 a.m. to find the family in dire straits.
