A startling warning had been issued on the Duluth Police Department's Facebook page this week about 2 home invasions that happened on back-to-back nights.

According to authorities, on Monday, November 4, Duluth Police responded to the 200 block of West Kent Road for a report of a burglary.  The individual, described as being a white male, entered the residence and made threats to the occupants inside.

A resident in this West Kent Road incident was transported by Mayo Ambulance to a local hospital for treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.

The two residents in the Vermilion Road incident were also transported by Mayo Ambulance to a local hospital for treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.

Both incidents occurred in the evening between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. and the Duluth Police Department believes these incidents are related to each other since the description of the suspect and the details of the crime are the same in both incidents.
