I received the following alert from a family on the 1400 block of Redcoat;

At about 11 am on Monday, Jan 5. a prowler was in our back yard looking in the window. He had opened the gate to enter the back yard and left it open. We had no car in the driveway but wife was home. She startled the prowler looking in the back bathroom window and he ran off. Police came and advised to keep doors and windows locked and call if anything further happens.

The description is a bald black man in his twenties. He was medium height and build. He has an oval face with caramel colored skin. He was wearing a puffy winter navy blue coat with tan lining. He had blue jeans and light tan work boots.
