Police arrest break-in suspect at the scene of the crime

Officers were called to the 800 block of Green Road about 11 p.m. to investigate a report that a home invasion was in progress. The caller reported hearing glass break, police said in a news release.

They found a ground-level apartment with a broken window and entered the building. Inside, they encountered a 20-year-old man they said attempted to flee.

Police stopped him and arrested him without incident. They also recovered property believed stolen from the apartment. The suspect had tried to discard it, police said.

The man, an Ypsilanti resident, was held at the Washtenaw County Jail pending arraignment.
