PORTAGE, Mich. -- Police are asking your help to find a suspect after a home invasion.

This happened just before 5:00 a.m. Sunday in the 6000 block of Bluebird Ct. in Portage.

The tenant told police that the suspect entered her apartment through an unlocked balcony door.

"About 4:30 a.m. my two cats came barreling into my room, which they do all the time, but this time they seemed scared and one of them was shaking. I heard  commotion in the living room, I came out, and there was a man standing in the living room" said Stacey Danielson.

Danielson confronted the male subject and say he fled back out of the sliding glass door.

She says maintenance came to her home on Thursday, and it was her job to close and lock the sliding door when they were done. But it slipped her mind.

"It didn't occur to me because it hadn't been open in 6 months. I forgot to lock it and put the wood block down on it" said Danielson. "The one time I didn't check was the one time something happened."

She wasn't hurt, and nothing was stolen from her home.

Police brought in a K9 unit but were unable to locate the suspect.

If you have any information call Portage Public Safety at 269-329-4567 or 269-343-2100.
