Suspect returns to same Willowbrook home he broke into a month ago: Sheriff

WILLOWBROOK (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - Police are looking for a man who tried to break into a west suburban home for a second time.

DuPage County Sheriff’s Police said the second incident happened early Thursday morning.

A doorbell camera spotted a masked man with a knife trying to get in through the front door of a Willowbrook area house as the residents were sleeping. After trying to get in, he ran away.

Police said that last month the same suspect got into the house through a window and, when confronted by residents, punched one of them in the head before running out through a garage door.

The family had increased its security, police said.
