Suspected burglar barricaded inside home*
GLENDALE — A man has barricaded himself inside a house today in what appeared to be a botched burglary, police said.
The man, who appeared in his late 20s, is believed to be holed-up by himself in a home on the 1100 block of Avonoak Terrace, police Sgt. Tom Lorenz said. Police had arrived at the home at about 11 a.m., after its burglar alarm was triggered, and saw the man come out of the garage.
When he saw the officers, he ran back inside, Lorenz said.
There has been several daytime residential burglaries reported in the area, and investigators suspect the man may be the culprit, Lorenz said.
