A 21-year-old resident of Butler Street Northeast found two masked men inside her house at 2:48 p.m. Friday. The woman was taking a shower and heard her dog growl.

She went downstairs and found a man in her living room. She screamed at him to “get out,” then saw a second man standing in her enclosed porch. Both men fled, but her 32-inch television was missing from her living room.

Police found fresh pry marks on the interior door leading into the house and a rip in the screen door leading to the enclosed patio.
