Police are investigating two home invasions in Ypsilanti and Superior townships.

On Friday, deputies from the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to the 1100 block of Lester Avenue in Ypsilanti Township for a home invasion that happened during daylight hours. The home was entered through an unlocked back door and ransacked, according to a news release.

A laptop and numerous pieces of jewelry were reported stolen.

Deputies responded to a home invasion on the 1900 block of Savannah Lane in Superior Township on Saturday. It is believed to have occurred sometime overnight while residents were home. Police think the suspect or suspects entered through an unlocked sliding door. A cellphone and purse that contained money and credit cards were taken.

There are no suspects at this time in either case. Police continue to investigate.
