Westwood Resident Interrupts Home Break-In

A resident of Olde Carriage Road in Westwood interrupted a break-in at her home last week, Westwood Police said.

The resident reportedly left her home, and, upon returning about 20 minutes later, interrupted a burglary at her house. The resident saw a newer-model red Kia Soul vehicle flee from the home, and because of her return home, the perpetrators were not able to take a number of items from the property. 

Those items, police said, had been moved into position to be removed from the household, but when the resident returned home, the perpetrators had little opportunity to carry the burglary out.

The majority of the property was not removed; inventory of the home is still being conducted, police said. 

No description of the perpetrators was immediately available, and the matter remains under investigation.
