The 50-year-old woman told officers three teens pushed her back into the room, restrained her and sexually assaulted her. Bracken says they took cash and other valuables from the room before fleeing.

Authorities say they have arrested two 16-year-olds and a 15-year-old in connection with the assault. Their names have not been released because of their ages.

The teens are facing multiple charges, including sexual assault and robbery.
