One Leg In and One Out

Thu, 05/23/2019 - 06:26

A woman was awakened at about 6:45 a.m. on Saturday by hearing a noise in the living room of her trailer in the Oakview Highway, East Hampton, mobile home community. She got up to investigate, believing it was one of her cats, but when she walked into the living room, she saw a man climbing in through an open window. 

He had one leg in and one leg out when Ann K. Walsh began yelling at him to leave. He made it through the window fully, she told East Hampton Town police, before running out through the front door and away in an unknown direction. 

Ms. Walsh said the man did not say a word during the incident. She was also not able to give police any identifying characteristics, but told them it might have been the same man who knocked on her door about a month ago.

Several police officers canvassed the area, but the intruder was not found.
