Resident Interrupts Intruder in Limerick Home

Limerick Township police are investigating a burglary that took place Thursday at around 12:30 p.m. in the 100 block of Benner Road, Limerick. 

Police say the break-in was discovered when the resident returned home and noticed a pillowcase on the foyer floor near the front door.

The resident heard noises coming from a rear first-floor bedroom and went to investigate. He discovered a black male in the bedroom "ransacking the room," according to the police department. 

The resident confronted the intruder, who then jumped out a window that had been previously forced opened by the burglar to gain entry to the house, police said.

Police are following several leads in the case.
