One man has been arrested and police are looking for a second suspect after a pregnant woman was tied up during a home invasion in Quincy, reports The Boston Globe.

Kevin Murphy, 22, of Revere, was arrested and charged with home invasion, armed assault in a dwelling, kidnapping, firearm use in a felony, carrying a dangerous weapon, receiving stolen property, and aggravated assault and battery, according to a statement from the Quincy Police Department.

“We do not believe the home invasion to be random,’’ said police in the statement.

The suspect at large is described by police as a “tall, [white male], possibly Hispanic, wearing a black ski mask, black puffy jacket, and possibly boots.’’

The incident happened at 3:40 p.m. Tuesday, when Quincy police received a call from a female who reported that two males had broken into the home on Presidents Lane.

The Globepublished a transcript of the call, which the paper says was placed by the pregnant woman’s 16 year-old daughter while she hid in an upstairs bedroom.
