Police Now Say Two Men Broke Into Rochester Woman’s Home
Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) - There was more than one intruder in a Rochester woman's home when she was assaulted early Wednesday.
Police Capt. Casey Moilanen says it also appears the victim’s home was targeted.
The 43-year-old woman says she was sleeping when a man came into her bedroom around 4:00 am and assaulted her. She told police the intruder was talking to a second man in another room in the house. When they left, she ran outside and began screaming. An employee at a nearby Kwik Trip store heard her and called 911.
