KILLINGLY, Conn. — Connecticut State Police are investigating a home invasion in Killingly on Friday afternoon.
At around 1:30 p.m., Troop D officers responded to a report of a disturbance at an address on Birchwood Drive.
Arriving troopers found one victim with minor injuries. They were taken to the hospital for evaluation, officials said.
Police were told two or three individuals reportedly entered the home, assaulted the victim, and stole items from the home.
The individuals left the scene in what is described to be a black Nissan with tinted windows and Massachusetts registration, troopers said.
Neighbors in the area said they are shocked something like this happened in broad daylight in a typically quiet area.
"Very scary, I mean it's the end of a cul-de-sac so I always felt perfectly safe. Like it's a very safe, quiet community I never would've expected something like that to happen here," said Jessica Bliss of Killingly.
The investigation is ongoing. Police said there was no immediate threat to the public but the situation has left neighbors on edge.
"I always tell my husband keep the door locked during the day because you just never know," said Jennifer Smith of Killingly. "I have a dash cam in my car that's always running so definitely time to get a Ring doorbell," she said.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call Detective Lewis at Troop D at (860) 779-4900.
