With a bowling ball bag in hand, the burglar pushed her out of the way and headed for the door. The woman yelled at him to drop the bag, but he was undeterred and kept running. He was last seen running through the church parking lot toward Schaefer Road.

Police said the culprit broken in through a basement window. He is described as a 17-year-old black male, about 5 feet 6 inches tall and with a thin build. At the time he was wearing a t-shirt, hooded sweatshirt and jeans.
