ANN ARBOR – At approximately 1:37 a.m. on Tuesday morning, a residence was broken into on the 1400 block of Hill St. just off University of Michigan’s central campus.
Upon hearing noise coming from his bedroom, an individual went to inspect the commotion when he saw a male holding his property, according to a crime alert issued by U-M’s Division of Public Safety and Security. Once he confronted the man, the suspect dropped the property and fled out the bedroom window.
