Overview
- Police say a masked intruder who assaulted the lone caretaker remains at large after Saturday’s early-morning break-in at Rock Edge in Beverly.
- The victim was pistol-whipped, forced through the house at gunpoint, and tied in the garage before escaping to a neighbor and receiving treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
- The suspect fled in a 2024 Porsche Cayenne stolen from the property, and officers later recovered the vehicle in Lynn.
- Beverly and Massachusetts State Police are leading the investigation, the homeowner says the FBI is assisting, and officials have not released a full incident report.
- The owner and security analysts say the crime likely drew on knowledge of routines or valuables at the historic, high-value estate, where rotating staff and contractors can expand access.
