Police: Man slips into Ann Arbor home through unlocked window, offers to fix it when confronted by resident

Ann Arbor police Lt. Renee Bush said the resident thought he heard someone knocking on the door when he left his home in the 900 block of Mary Street earlier on in the night. He returned home and saw a man crawling through an unlocked window in the rear of the residence.

The intruder asked the resident if a specific person lived there and the resident said no, Bush said. The intruder then apologized for going through the window and offered to help the resident fix it, Bush said.

The intruder was last seen unlocking the deadbolt to the back door of the home and leaving without taking anything.

The resident reported the incident at 12:57 a.m. Friday.

The man is described as white, 6-feet-1 inch tall, 180 pounds, thin with short brown hair, tan complexion and a well-trimmed beard. He was wearing a plaid shirt and blue jeans, Bush said.

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