Deputies are on the scene this morning of a home-invasion incident in Oakville in which two residents were assaulted.

The Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office reports two masked men kicked in the door to a home on the 200 block of East Alder Street. A man and woman there were assaulted and the intruders left without taking anything, according to the sheriff’s office.

Investigators are working on developing suspects and figuring out the reason for the attack, according to Chief Criminal Deputy Steve Shumate.

Shumate said in a news release they have a possible identity of one of the subjects, as his mask was removed during the altercation. The 911 call came just after 5 a.m.

Three occupants of a vehicle were detained following a police pursuit then crash near U.S. Highway 12 in Malone, but that doesn’t appear to be related to the Oakville incident, Shumate said.

The chase began with Chehalis Tribal Police. A police dog was dispatched to track the driver who fled on foot, he said.

More information will be released when it becomes available, he stated.
