Resident Hears Noises, Sees Intruders

Police still investigating incident being called an attempted burglary.

A resident in the 1000 block of Sophia St. heard noises on her second story back deck at about 9:30 Tuesday night and looked out to see two figures climbing over the deck railing, according to Natatia Bledsoe, Fredericksburg Police Department Public Information Officer.

The victim shouted at the subjects, and the intruders jumped off the deck and fled from the area.

The two suspects were described as white males in their early 20s.  One suspect was wearing a white long-sleeved pullover and dark pants, and the second suspect was wearing a dark-colored peacoat jacket and pants. Both were wearing beanie hats. The investigation is ongoing, Bledsoe said.
