Savage Police Are Investigating Bedroom Intruder

SAVAGE (AP) - Police in Savage are investigating a report of a suspicious man entering a young girl's bedroom.

The man removed the screen window and entered the 7-year-old girl's room in the middle of the night Monday.

Police say the girl woke up, but pretended to be asleep. The man left out the same window. Police say he didn't touch the girl or take anything.

Last week, a resident in the same neighborhood reported that a chair had been found under the window of their child's bedroom and that the window screen had been removed. There was no evidence of entry.

Captain Dave Muelken says they are increasing patrol of the area.
