A family on Fernwood Road came home to an intruder on Sept. 19, according to a sheriff's office press release.
When the family returned home, they heard noises coming from one of the bedrooms. Then they saw a "white male with a chubby face and freckles" flee the scene with a green backpack.
The glass on the rear patio door had been broken, and the suspect allegedly tried to get into the home through a kitchen window and living room window.
