Police are asking for help identifying juvenile suspects in Milesburg home robbery

State police at Rockview are asking for the public’s help as they investigate a home robbery in Milesburg that involved two juveniles.

The robbery happened at about 5:30 p.m. Aug. 20 in the 300 block of Hazel Street after a woman allowed the suspects — described by police as white juvenile males — into her home to discuss home repairs. Once in the home, one of the juveniles held the woman down while the other burglarized the residence, police wrote in a Saturday press release.

Police did not immediately respond to a request for information about whether the woman was injured or what was stolen from the home.

It is not known how the two got to the residence or left the scene, police wrote. Anyone with information on the robbery or suspects is asked to contact state police at Rockview at 814-355-7545 and ask to speak to Trooper Walker.
