Someone attempted to burglarize a home in the 4600 block of Leir Drive at about noon on Friday, Nov. 12. A resident arrived there and realized her alarm had been set off, with a kitchen window at the rear of the house smashed. After receiving a call from her alarm company, she saw a man run out from her back yard, dropping a box she owns on the sidewalk, before entering a black Volkswagen Atlas and driving off. The woman was unable to immediately determine what, if anything, had been stolen.

The woman received a call from a man who claimed there was a warrant out for her arrest for failing to respond to a subpoena, and that she needed to post bail by purchasing prepaid Money Pak cards. She did so and provided the cards’ information to the caller, but later realized she was being defrauded.
