ATHENS TOWNSHIP, MI (WTVB) – Police are looking for two suspects after they confronted an Athens Township man in his home Tuesday morning during an attempted breaking and entering.
Michigan State Police say a 57 year old man was awoken to someone knocking on his front door. The resident got dressed and went to investigate, and was met by a man and woman who had entered the rear door of the residence.
The subjects were not known to him and he retrieved a knife and confronted the pair. The male suspect then brandished a handgun and pointed it at the resident as the suspects fled the home.
The two fled the residence in an early to mid 90s blue or dark colored Chevrolet Suburban, going west into Kalamazoo County.
The man was said to be 5’7 – 5’-10” in height. He was thin and wearing a ball cap with a straight bill. The woman was described as a 5’4”- 5’6” and heavy set. She was wearing cut off shorts, with dark hair that was pulled up in a bun. No additional suspect information was provided.
