A home break-in and sexual assault were reported in the 2200 block of Drummond Street around 6:30 this morning, police Lt. Bobby Stewart said.

The victim, a woman in her late 50s, told police she was in her home alone when a man wearing a black hoodie and dark pants broke in through a window and assaulted her, said Stewart. She did not know her attacker, and nothing was stolen from the home, Stewart said.

Two people were picked up within 30 minutes of the victim’s reporting the attack and were being questioned by investigators, said Sgt. Sandra Williams.
