Attempted Home Invasion Reported on Nichols Avenue
Police were unable to track down the suspect who reportedly tried to enter a woman's Nichols Avenue home at about 8 p.m. Wednesday.
Stratford police said they were unable to locate a male who reportedly tried to break in to a woman's house on Nichols Avenue Wednesday night.
Capt. Joseph McNeil said when officers arrived at about 8 p.m. they found "what looked like pry marks" on the back door.
McNeil said the woman inside the home called police saying she heard a bang coming from the back of her house and when she looked to see what it was she saw a male she didn't recognize trying to break in. The door was locked and the man never entered the home, police said the woman told them.
