MOUNTAIN HOUSE, Calif. — An elderly woman is recovering in the hospital after a home invader attacked her, officials say.
In a Facebook post by the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office, the attack happened around 5 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 12, at the woman's home in Mountain House. Deputies were called after the suspect triggered a neighbor's home camera. The neighbor called deputies knowing that the victim lived alone.
When deputies arrived to perform a welfare check, they noticed a large amount of blood on the side of the house. Deputies believe the suspects broke into the woman's home sometime between 4:30 a.m and 5 a.m.
The woman suffered significant injuries.
The investigation is ongoing. If you have any information, contact the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office's non-emergency line at (209) 468-4400 and choose option 1, or call the Investigations Division at (209) 468-4425 and leaving a message for Detective Smith.
