Police say they were called around 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 11 to a home on Glenbury Dr., in the Centre St. and New Westminster Dr. area, of Vaughan for a home invasion robbery.

The 59-year-old woman had been home alone and had answered a knock on her door.

A man and a woman forced their way inside and hit her in the head and face with a handgun. They forced her into a bathroom while they searched her home. When they fled, the victim called police.
