The burglary call came in about 2:30 p.m. Thursday, with a report that a male subject wearing a white bandana had broken into a home in the 1500 block of Avenue B, entering the residence through a front window.
When police officers arrived at the residence, they found the suspect had removed a screen over a window to enter the house. The burglar reportedly stole a weapon from the home.
Four officers responded to the call. Some of the officers canvassed the neighborhood, speaking to a neighbor across the street from the burglarized residence. Officers also spoke to a woman identified as the homeowner.

Another officer searching an alley behind the residences discovered a backpack reportedly containing syringes and white powder, but it is not known if the backpack is related to the break-in at the Avenue B residence. One officer placed the backpack into the rear seat of one of the police vehicles.
No suspect was found, and the officers assisted the homeowner in placing the screen back on the window.
