LEWISTON – Police say a group of people broke into the home of a Bardwell Street woman while she was sleeping either late Monday or early Tuesday.

The suspects appeared to have entered the home by breaking a basement window between 11 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, police said.

They then proceeded to rummage though every room in the house. However, police said the thieves stole only the resident’s wallet from her purse.

Footprints outside the home indicate several people were involved in the break-in, police said.

The woman told police she never awoke while the burglars were inside her house.

Anyone with information about the burglary and theft is asked to call Lewiston police at 784-6421.
