On Tuesday, February 13, 2018, at approximately 2:22 PM, a report of a trespassing in progress at 415 Winston Drive, Apt. #103, was dispatched to officers. Per dispatch, a white male wearing a yellow vest (possibly traffic or construction) and a mask entered a female resident's bedroom while she was inside and then fled the area.
Upon arrival, officers observed the front door open and splintered from being forced open, and the deadbolt left engaged by the suspect, possibly to prevent the entry from closing behind him to allow for a quicker exit. Officers searched the apartment for the suspect with negative results. There were two female residents at home at the time of the incident. A search of the surrounding area for the suspect met with negative results. Nothing was taken from the house.
The resident who observed the suspect provided an updated description of unknown race male, 5'7" tall, 175-185 lbs., with dark hair, wearing a neon yellow traffic vest with two white stripes, a dark mask (covering his nose and mouth), dark sunglasses and possibly a dark bandana.
