At 9:20 p.m., officers responded to a residential break and enter in the 0-100 block of Mount Edward Road. A 25-year-old woman heard a knock at her front door, made her way through the house and observed a man standing in her kitchen holding her purse. She took refuge in a bedroom with her ten-month-old baby and called 9-1-1.
