A white man about 5-foot-9-inches tall with a thin build and wearing a blue and white plaid sweatshirt and baggy blue jeans attempted to break into a home on the 100 block of North Myrtle at 2:59 p.m. Feb. 7. The resident told police she heard her doorbell ring in quick succession numerous times, then heard pounding on the door. As she walked to the door to answer it, the man smashed out the glass window and reached his arm inside the house. When he saw the woman, he fled on foot westbound.
