At approximately 3:15 a.m., members of the MHPS patrol section responded to report of a break and enter in progress at a residence on Sunwood Court. They say upon arrival, officers learned a suspect had entered the home through the attached garage and fled once seen by the homeowner, and no physical injuries were reported.
