Intruder reported



Intruder reported
BOARDMAN -- The resident of a New England Boulevard home confronted a burglar Saturday afternoon and the intruder fled.
The woman told police that a man entered her house through her front door, which was unlocked. When she asked him who he was and what he was doing there, the man said he was looking for Mike and that he must have the wrong home. He then fled through the house and out a back door.
The man was wearing Latex gloves and carrying a dark duffel bag that appeared empty. The homeowner described the man as white, about 5 feet 6 inches tall, 150 pounds, with dark hair and a scraggly beard.
Nothing was reported missing.
Police noted that a newspaper on the doorstep may have led the man to believe that no one was home.
