Westwood Woman Finds Thief in Her Home

A Strafford Road resident said she returned home to find a thief still inside.

A Westwood woman returned to her Strafford Road home after an errand on Friday to find her house was being robbed in an ordeal she said left her "shocked," according to WCVB.com

The woman, who asked to be identified only as Patti, said the man limped away after threatening her and jumping over her home's second-story deck. 

“I was screaming and then he told me to shut up in so many words or that he would blow my brains out,” Patti told WCVB. “And he kept telling me to shut up or he was going to shoot me.”
