Alexandria resident Kathleen Wiederman says she found herself in a fearful state of shock Tuesday morning when she discovered a stranger just outside her bedroom door.
Wiederman and her 3-year-old daughter were sleeping upstairs when two burglars broke through a screen and entered through an open first floor window.
“The first thing I thought or did was yell and it scared him away,” she says. “I guess because he took off running.”
Wiederman left the windows open in her Old Town home because the weather had been so nice. But Alexandria police say that simple action is what causes a spike in burglaries in the Spring. In Wiedeman’s case, the suspects cut out the screen and climbed in.
