GRAND JUNCTION, Colo – The Mesa County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a home invasion robbery that occurred overnight on the 400 block of Mountain Drive in Grand Junction.
At 1:42 a.m. deputies responded to a report of two males breaking into a home and assaulting the homeowner. The two suspects fled in an unknown direction before deputies arrived.
