64-year-old woman confronts burglar in her driveway

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — An Indianapolis woman pulled into her driveway Saturday to find an unknown vehicle at the home.

This all unfolded on the 7100 block of Lakeside Drive.

She watched as a man emerged and slammed the trunk of the car. She confronted him and peppered the man with questions. The intruder gave no explanations, but he jumped in the car and sideswiped her BMW as he sped off.

Inside the home, the 64-year-old woman found broken glass, a missing flat screen television and her jewelry gone.

She called police, but only had a vague description to give investigators. The home is nestled in the Lakeside subdivision.

Over the years the subdivision has been known as a proactive community. Residents in the subdivision often invite the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department to community meetings. There are neighborhood watch signs posted on the street.

24-Hour News 8 reached out to the victim on Monday, but we were not able to establish contact at the time of this story.

If you have any information in this crime, you are urged to call Crime Stoppers at 262-TIPS (8477).
