A man who broke into a residence in the 800 block of Tyler Road in Ypsilanti Township Wednesday was caught on tape.
Deputies from the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to the house for a complaint of a home invasion that occurred sometime during the day, according to a news release.
The man forced his way through a rear door before going through the home searching for items. Police said at this time it doesn't appear the suspect took anything.
The sheriff's office continues to investigate. Anyone with information about this incident should call the WCSO Confidential Tip Line at (734) 973-7711 or 1-800-SPEAK UP.

Pretty dumb to break into a house just to get caught.

Redundant statement. I doubt that was his plan.

He took nothing? That's interesting. I wonder if his motive was something other than robbery. The video should finger him I would think if the right person sees it.

This reminds me of a recent article in which the basis for the police assuming a person was was drug dealer, was that the person had a survailance camera on their mobile home. So why is the assumption not being made that the owner of this home was also a criminal? I guess in the eyes of the law: mobile home park + video camera= drug dealer Homeowner + video camera= concerned, law abiding citizen.

Why is this video not crystal clear. The video on my camera phone is better than this.

Can you run your phones camera 24/7 from several different locations and store all the video footage at once? Didn't think so...

Maybe it was an older model security system?

Not sure if it would be helpful but is that Keystone something printed on his T-shirt?

I think that might be "Keystone Light."

Nice that someone's home camera can manage to take better pictures of a suspect than bank security cameras do on bank robbers. Hope this (allegedly bad person) gets caught!

Because of this video, the perp has a high probability of being caught. Video systems are affordable nowadays. If you can afford toys, you can afford to protect them. We should be reading this perps name shortly after his arrest.
