PIEDMONT, Calif. - Police in the East Bay are looking for two suspects after a woman was assaulted during a home invasion on Tuesday in a Piedmont neighborhood.
According to authorities, a man returned to his home in the 400 block of Scenic Avenue around 12:25 a.m. to find the front door of the home open, and two suspects inside.
A woman, asleep in a bedroom at the time of the robbery, was assaulted and injured after the suspects allegedly demanded cash, and she would not comply.
The suspects then "ransacked" the home, police said.
When officers arrived at the home, the suspects had already fled the scene, police said.
Piedmont police were able to find the suspects' car in Oakland using a Flock Safety camera.
