Three burglaries were reported this morning in the Town of Amherst, where intruders entered homes through unlocked doors, police said.
Two of the homes, on Miller Road, were entered while their occupants were sleeping, police said. In one instance that occurred at about 5 a.m., the burglar fled after being confronted by someone in the house, police said.
Another burglary was reported on Phillip Drive shortly afterward, police said.
Officers also are investigating an assault that occurred last Friday on Allenhurst Road, where a woman was approached from behind and punched in the back of a head by an assailant, according to police. That incident is similar to a robbery reported the same day on Callodine Avenue, where a woman reported the same thing happened.
Both of the assaults happened during the early afternoon, as the victims were walking on the sidewalk. Police ask anyone with information on those incidents to call them at 689-1322.
