Home Invasion

A suspect is wanted by Boca Raton police for a home invasion robbery that occurred about 3:40 a.m. last Friday in the north end of the city, police said.

A female resident said she was in the living room when she
heard noises coming from the bedroom.  She went in to look, then turned to go back to the living room.

She told police that before she got through the doorway, she was pushed to the floor by a suspect who repeatedly told her, “Don’t move and be quiet and you won’t get hurt.”

The victim said she began to scream and the suspect ran out of the house by way of the back door and continued running south through her yard.

Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call Detective John Moran at (561) 338-1315.
