Five family members were tortured with hot metal during a home invasion last weekend - a crime that Harnett County Sheriff Wayne Coats calls the most heinous he's ever investigated.

Family are horrifically tortured in their home by masked intruders
Residents say they are beefing up their home security after the terrifying ordeal, with police so far making no arrests as the mob of masked intruders remains at large.
“The terrifying ordeal came as the family-of-five were sat in their garage at 2 am with the door open, and the intruders were staked out nearby.
The group then stormed the home and held the family at knifepoint, forcing Maricela Morales, her husband Arturo Torres, and their three children inside before carrying out the sickening episode.
Coats said the savage torture method was the worst he had ever seen in his career, and was an attempt 'to get (the family) to tell them where their money and guns were.'
The home was ransacked, and the group stole a number of items, but reportedly did not find any money or guns inside the property.”
