Police said the incident happened Sunday morning in the 4200 block of Thatch Avenue. The 9:56 a.m. burglary happened while the homeowner was asleep, but the victim was soon awake and confronted the man, who police describe as white, 25-30 years old, 5-feet-8, 150 pounds and possibly bald.

After the confrontation, police said the suspect fled the scene in an early 2000 model BMW four-door sedan, and was followed by an unknown woman, who police said was acting as a lookout, in a 2000-2006 white GMC pickup truck.

Police said the suspect may have also been wearing a black baseball hat, sunglasses, a red button down shirt, armed with a small silver or black semi-automatic firearm.
