N.J. Home Invasion Update: Reward up to $20,000 for info on home beating caught on "nanny cam"

(CBS/AP) MILLBURN, N.J.-- The reward for information that could lead authorities to the suspect in the brutal New Jersey home invasion caught on a "nanny camera" is now $20,000, which is quadruple the $5,000 amount that was announced on Wednesday.

The $15,000 increase was made possible by donations from public groups and private individuals who were outraged by the attack.

According to NJ.com, Millburn authorities said the suspect, who they believe has a beard, broke into the New Jersey home at around 10:30 a.m. on Friday, assaulted a woman in front of her 3-year-old and stole jewelry.

The assault was caught on video by a nanny camera and shows the suspect repeatedly beating the woman in her living room and then dragging her away from the room, shoving her through a doorway, and shutting the door, reported the website.

The young mother was treated for a concussion, bruises, chipped teeth and cuts around her mouth.
