Police Seek 2 Women, 1 Man, Suspects in Early Morning Home Invasion in Worcester

WORCESTER, MA—Police are looking for two women and one man who allegedly forced their way into a Worcester apartment early Sunday morning, forcing two to the floor and stealing cash and cell phones.

On Sunday, Oct. 9, at approximately 4:10 a.m., Worcester police responded to a Scott Street address, where a home invasion had reportedly occurred.

The 43-year-old male victim told police that around 2:45 a.m. he heard a knock at the door, when he looked out of the peephole and saw a tall female standing in front of the door. The victim said he originally thought the woman outside the door was another tenant who lives in the building, so he opened the door. When he opened the door, another woman and man were spotted crouching around the entrance, the three forcing their way into the victim's apartment.

Once inside, the male suspect pulled out a gun, and the victim was ordered into his kitchen. He was struck in the back of the head and forced to the floor face down when, hearing the commotion, the victim's 42-year-old roommate came out of his bedroom. He, too, was forced to the ground, said police. The male suspect stayed with the victims while the two women searched the apartment. The three made off with a small amount of cash and cell phones.

The suspects were described as all three being Hispanic, one female was tall while the male was approximately 5’6” with a muscular build. No information is available on the other female.
