Authorities Investigating Two Home Invasions in Sussex

The Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department is investigating two home invasions on the southwest side of Sussex in the last week.

According to a department press release, the first invasion was reported by a woman at 9 p.m. June 30 after someone pushed an arm through her open bedroom door. She was able to lock herself in a bathroom and the suspect ran away.

The second incident occurred at about 11 p.m. Monday, when a woman reported that she was awoken in her bed by someone tugging at her shirt. The woman reported seeing the shadow of a person about 5 feet 9 inches tall and wearing shorts.  

Both residences were unlocked at the time of the home invasion, and the sheriff’s department is asking residents to secure their homes.

If you notice anything suspicious in your neighborhood or have information about the incidents, contact the sheriff’s department at 262-548-7126.
