The woman told police when she opened the basement door, she saw a man wearing a mask. He then left the residence on foot, and the woman called the police.
Officers found a rear basement window broken, according to a report.
According to police, the man made off with a few presents that were being stored in the basement.
At 6:08 a.m., in the 100 block of Greenway Drive, a woman awoke to find a man rummaging through her husband’s closet.
