Ann Arbor police are investigating 2 attempted home invasions that occurred Tuesday morning.

About 1:30 a.m., a 21-year-old man was in his bedroom in the 1200 block of Willard Street when a man attempted to remove his window air conditioner, police spokeswoman Lt. Renee Bush said.

Upon being confronted, the man at the window ran away from the home, Bush said. He was described as black, 20 years of age, 6 feet tall, 175 pounds and was wearing dark pants and a varsity-style jacket.

In the other case, at about 11 a.m., a woman called 911 reporting that a man was attempting to break into her friend's house in the 2900 block of Chesterfield Drive. The 50-year-old woman, who had keys to the home, had stopped by to use the bathroom and heard someone at the rear screen door, Bush said. The woman confronted the man who was attempting to pry open the door and he left the area, Bush said. A detailed description of the man was not available.

Anyone with information can call the police department's tip line at (734) 794-6939.
