4500 block of Pennsylvania Avenue in La Crescenta,  a resident returned home to find the front window screen and the window frame bent where it appeared someone had attempted to use a pry tool to slide the window open. The resident reported that a family had called him and reported seeing two “strange males” walk through the vehicle gate heading east toward their unit. The family member was concerned because the men were not known to them. The resident walked outside to the common area of the complex and saw Suspect No. 1 described as a male, 6’ tall standing along the far east end of the complex. When Suspect No. 1 saw the resident he said something to him in an unknown language. Suspect No. 2 then came walking over and then both suspects left the area. Both suspects were described as wearing black hats, similar to Halloween witch hats, face masks and black jeans. Suspect No. 2 had a black backpack. Both were described as Caucasian or light skinned.
