Police investigating home invasion

By For The Greene County Messenger 1 min read

State police continue to investigate a home invasion robbery that occurred at the home of an elderly Greene County woman in Franklin Township on March 3.

Trooper Jay Hundertmark reported that Anna Mayhla, 85, of Waynesburg answered the door at her home on Greenhouse Road between 6 and 6:30 p.m., and a woman wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt asked if she could use the phone because she ran out of gas.

When Mayhla let the woman in, police reported the woman pushed Mayhla into a recliner and held her by the wrists while a man wearing dark clothing came into the home.

The man ransacked the home in search of money, police said, and then both fled the home.

Police said Mayhla was not injured in the incident.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call state police at 724-627-6151.
