Ann Arbor police are searching for a man who was caught in the act of breaking into a home and attempting to steal a TV.

Lt. Renee Bush said police were sent at 11:20 p.m. Tuesday to the 1000 block of Hill Street for a report of a home invasion in progress. Bush said a 21-year-old Ann Arbor man came into his room and confronted a man who had broken in.

When the resident asked the man what he was doing, the man said he was looking for someone who didn’t live there, Bush said. He then fled through a basement window that police believe he used to enter the home, according to Bush.

The 21-year-old man found his 50-inch flat screen TV outside the basement window and brought it back inside the home, Bush said. It’s unknown if any other items were stolen.

The man is described as black, about 25 years old, 5-foot-10 inches tall, 170 pounds and wearing a black coat, dark red shirt and brown shorts, Bush said.

Anyone with information on this incident is encouraged to call the Ann Arbor police anonymous tip line at 734-794-6939.
