Officers responded to the break-in about 5:30 a.m. and stopped the man, who was leaving the building, carrying a backpack, a police crime summary said.

There is nothing like good neighbors if this is the case. Great job by the Police also!

Did a neighbor report this? Or was the tenant home at the time? If a neighbor reported it, then on behalf of the tenant I'd like to say "Thank you." In our apartments I think we could be dead in our apartment for weeks before our neighbors would notice. Being a good neighbor makes the community better, keep it up.
