LIVERMORE FALLS – A middle-aged woman was injured Monday morning in a home invasion after two males wearing ski masks walked into her residence with a handgun on Pine Ridge Loop, and assaulted her, Sgt. Steve Allen said.
The victim described the males as both being white and slender in build with one taller than the other, Allen said.
At one point, the victim said she saw blond hair when one of the intruders’ masks lifted. They left heading out of the Pine Ridge Loop park toward Route 106. It is unknown which way they turned once they left the park, Allen said.
The invasion occurred just before 9:30 a.m., he said.
A child was sleeping in another part of the home and was unharmed, Allen said.
The woman was pistol-whipped and received a cut on her head, he said.
The victim was taken by a NorthStar Emergency Medical Services ambulance was taken to Franklin Memorial Hospital in Farmington, Allen said.
Items were taken from the home but police are declining to say what as their investigation continued Monday.
Maine State Police brought in a tracking dog to assist Allen and Livermore Falls police Chief Ernest Steward Jr., Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Department and the Maine Warden Service in searching for the suspects.
“We’re going over some leads and evidence collected at the scene,” Allen said.
