Attempted Break and Enter 1435 7A Sreet NW



On Monday, November 29th, at approximately 10:29 AM, an intruder entered our home at 1435 7A Street NW. via an unlocked rear door.

I was working in my basement office, heard the opening door and saw the intruder in the rear entryway. I yelled up at him “what are you doing here” and he ran off.

I sprinted upstairs in my stocking feet and chased him as he ran off through the side gate. He took a hard right turn and ran across the porch of the next house over (14317A St. NW) and then turned into the side yard between 1431 and the adjacent side yard (1428 7A St. NW).

He tried to enter through the gate at 1428, but a barking dog made him stop and turn around at the gate.

At this point he was between me and the gate, approximately 15 feet between us. He took out an aerosol can (orange branding) and threatened me with it as he slowly walked towards me – I put my hands up in a calming manner, telling him I would back off, and I turned and quickly walked away.

I returned to my house but glanced back and watched him walk down 7A St., southbound, staying on the west side of the street. I reported the incident to 911 at approximately 10.31.

The intruder was wearing a black down ski jacket, black hood and black mask; he had running shoes on that may have been red or orange.

Approximately 5’7” average build. He may have been Asian or Middle Eastern, but I cannot be sure.
