Worcester Police respond to another home invasion
Another home invasion hit Worcester and on Monday morning Worcester Police responded to a Lake Avenue apartment for a reported home invasion with gunshots fired.
When Worcester police arrived they met with the 29-year-old womant, who was the victim of the home invasion.
Woman informed the officers that she was sleeping next to her 8-year-old son when she woke up due to loud banging on rear door. The person banging on the door was now trying to kick it in.
"The person was yelling that they were the police but the victim did not see a single police vehicle outside the apartment. The victim stated that as the person was trying to kick in the door she heard gunshots go off. Shortly after the gunfire the fire alarm went off. The suspects were seen fleeing the scene. The suspects never gained entry into the apartment," according to the police report.
A neighbor approached the officers and stated that he was outside at the time when the suspect arrived. The suspects were described as two white males, both in their thirties; one was wearing a dark colored sweatshirt with jeans while the other suspect wore a hooded sweatshirt and dark colored sweatpants. Both men were in possession of handguns and both had their faces covered. The neighbor stated that the two men demanded money from him prior to going to the female’s apartment.
Ballistic evidence was recovered from the scene by Worcester police.
There were no injuries reported.
