Woman sexually assaulted robbed during home invasion
N.J. Burkett reports police in Newark are looking for suspects

NEWARK, New Jersey (WABC) -- Police are investigating a terrifying home invasion in Newark in which a woman was sexually assaulted and robbed, and they're hoping surveillance of the suspects will lead to arrests.

The incident happened just before 1 p.m. Sunday at an apartment building on Broad Street.

Authorities say three people -- two men and a woman -- broke into the apartment, which is occupied by multiple renters, but that only a woman was home at the time.

The men sexually assaulted the woman before fleeing with her cash, car keys and other personal property, according to police.
