GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Green Bay police are putting out the word, asking west side residents to be on the lookout after a person woke up to a suspicious person inside her home.
“We alerted the communuity because we want them to know. We need the community to be our eyes and ears.”
Police Captain Kevin Warych says the incident happened around 5:30 Tuesday morning in the 1300 block of Division Street.
Police say the resident was asleep and woke up to a man inside her bedroom.
The man ran out of the house when he was confronted.
Police say other residents in the neighborhood saw the man running away.
The suspect is being described as possibly Hispanic with shoulder length puffy, curly hair and a scar underneath his eye.
Warych says the incident shows the importance of having a good relationship with your neighbors.
“Maybe you should have that conversation with your neighbor and work with one another so you can protect each other.”
The victim believes the suspect was between 5’6” to 5’8” tall, weighing about 140 pounds with a medium build, but many questions remain.
“We don’t know what the motive of the suspect male was. We know that the male did not live there and that the woman did not consent to him being in the house.”
Police say residents should always lock home doors and windows, and if you see anything suspicious or out of the ordinary in your neighborhood, police encourage you to report it.
