When a 34-year-old Ann Arbor woman arrived at her residence in the 1800 block of Chandler Avenue around 11 a.m. Tuesday, she saw a man walking across her lawn carrying two bags that may have contained her property, police said.

The man -- described as a black male, about 25 years old and wearing all black clothing -- fled when he saw the woman pull up, according to Ann Arbor police Sgt. Paul Curtis.

"He noticed her and took off," he said.

When the woman went into her residence, she noticed a laptop and other electronics were missing.

The side door had been forced open. Police continue to investigate.

Anyone with information on the break-ins is encouraged to call the Ann Arbor police anonymous tip line at 734-794-6939 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK UP (773-2537).
