DERBY >> Police are asking the public’s help in their investigation of a home invasion that took place at 10:30 a.m. Thursday at 1 Lombardi Drive, according to spokesman Lt. Sal Frosceno.
The 80-year-old female resident, who was home alone at the time, stated that she interrupted a burglary and was assaulted by two masked individuals, Frosceno said. The victim sustained injuries, including head wounds, and was transported to Yale-New Haven Hospital. She is in stable condition. She was discovered by her daughter, who called police, shortly afterward.
As a precautionary measure, Bradley Elementary School, which is in close proximity, was placed on lock down for approximately 30 minutes, Frosceno said.
Derby and Ansonia detectives are continuing to investigate. They are following up on leads developed through the crime scene and witness statements.
Anyone with any information is asked to call the Derby Police at 203-735-7811. All calls can remain anonymous.
