Woman Beaten During Hercules Home Invasion

Hercules police are looking for two men who broke into a home on Bonaire Avenue in Hercules Tuesday night and allegedly threatened to kill the female occupant if she didn’t give them money and jewelry. 

The victim, who was sleeping and alone in the house at the time of the invasion, went to the hospital with injuries to her face. 

Here’s the full release from the Hercules Police Department:

On July 23, 2013, at 10:38PM Hercules Police Officers responded, to the 100 block of block of Bonaire Ave, for the report of a Residential Robbery. Officers arrived and contacted an adult female victim, who was the lone occupant of the residence.

The victim stated she was sleeping, in the upstairs master bedroom, when she was awakened by a male.  The male shined a bright light in her face, and said he was “the police”.  The suspect asked the victim if she was alone in the house, then punched her in the face and tied her up with  a cord. The suspect put an object to the victim’s head and threatened to kill her.

The victim believed the object was a gun, but did not see it. The suspect dragged the victim into the master bedroom closet and demanded money and jewelry. When the victim stated she had neither, the suspect hit her again and threatened to shoot her. The victim heard a second male, in the bedroom, but did not see him.

Officers examined the home and determined the suspects entered through an unlocked downstairs bedroom window. The master bedroom, and closet, was ransacked, but the victim could not determine any loss at this time.  

Several small electronic devices, which were in the residence, were not taken.The victim received facial injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.  She was later released. There are no suspects at this time and investigation is continuing.
