ENFIELD, Conn. — Enfield police are searching for three suspects after a reported home invasion early Thursday morning, officials said.
Just before 2 a.m., Enfield officers were called to a home on Asuntuck Street in the Thompsonville section of town on a reported home invasion.
As officers were heading to the area, they were told that the three suspects were seen running from the residence and were subsequently in a white car across the street.
When officers got to the scene, they found three people inside a white car. Enfield police commanded the people to get out of the car, but the orders were ignored. Officials said the suspects then sped away from the scene, nearly striking two Enfield officers and several police cruisers.
As officials investigated the home, they learned that the residents heard banging at the door as the suspects broke a glass pane at the side door. From there, the suspects made their way up to the third floor, where they were confronted by one of the residents, who then retreated to his bedroom.
According to officials, one suspect pointed a gun at the resident and kicked the bedroom door in an attempt to get inside. After a minute, the suspects fled the home.
Police said investigators found evidence tied to the suspects inside the home and are working on several leads to identify them.
The investigation is active and ongoing.
