A terrified teenager hid in the basement at her Penhale Avenue home while two burglars ransacked the house, police said.
Detective Sgt. John Rusnak said Friday police had no leads on suspects in the Thursday afternoon home invasion.
Rusnak said the 14-year-old girl’s ordeal started shortly after she arrived home from school at
2:20 p.m.
She heard knocking, looked out the window and saw two men standing there, he said. She didn’t know the men, and she didn’t answer the door, he said.
He said the men kicked in the front door, and the girl fled to the basement. There she called her mother, who called police.
The mother pulled in the driveway behind the men’s car and walked in, confronting them in her daughter’s bedroom, according to the police report.
