Dover – The Delaware State Police are investigating a home invasion that occurred in the Rodney Village Development, according to Public Information Officer, Master Corporal Gary Fournier.
Fournier said that around 7:20 p.m., Thursday January 26, 2017 three male subjects entered the front door of a residence located in the 1000 block of Nathaniel Mitchell Road. The suspects confronted a 77-year-old female who had just walked out of her bedroom after hearing the door open, said Fournier.
One of the suspects was armed with a handgun and demanded money from the woman while another was in the basement of the house ransacking a room, according to Fournier. The three then left the residence without any cash, and it is unknown at this time if anything was stolen. The 77-year-old female, who was home alone at the time, was uninjured.
