The incident, reported to police around 4:45 a.m., was not the only home invasion in the area between Friday night and Saturday morning. The dog tracked a scent toward Whiting Street, which meets Gardner Street to the west, before losing it. Police called for assistance from the Weymouth police K-9 unit. Neither the woman nor her two children were harmed. The Gardner Street resident said the man ran when he noticed she was in the room, leaving through the basement entrance he used to get in, police said. It was too dark for the victim to give police a good description of the man standing in her bedroom doorway early Saturday morning she could only say he was about 6 feet tall. Police are investigating a trio of home invasions in South Hingham, including one in which a victim saw the would-be thief.
