By Olivia Wynkoop, Bay City News Foundation PALO ALTO, CA — Police are searching for suspects involved in a residential burglary that occurred while homeowners were inside early Saturday morning, the Palo Alto Police Department announced on Monday. Dispatchers received a call at 6:15 a.m. about a break-in that happened an hour prior on the 00 block of Crescent Drive, police report. The caller said she was inside her home's study at 5 a.m. when she heard a loud noise and footsteps. She assumed it was the heater turning on and family members waking up. Upon waking up at 6 a.m., the caller's husband found that a rear door's glass was broken. When police arrived to the scene, they found that the rear door's screen door was cut through and a set of two footprints in the hallway. No valuables were taken, and police believe the suspects fled once they found someone was home. Anyone with more information on the case is urged to call the police department's 24-hour dispatch center at (650) 329-2413 or email the anonymous tip line at [email protected].
