BRUNSWICK COUNTY, Va. — Deputies are searching for a suspect after a home invasion and sexual assault in Brunswick County early Saturday morning.
Officials with the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office said dispatchers received a 911 call from a woman inside a home on Lake Gaston Drive in Gasburg just after 4:15 a.m.
Deputies said the woman, who awoke to a man inside her home, was sexually assaulted.
The assailant then fled the home in an unknown direction, officials said.
“Deputies arrived within minutes, cleared and secured the residence,” Brunswick Sheriff Brian Roberts said. “Several tracking dogs (K-9 units) were called in to conduct a search of the area, but were unable to locate the subject.”
