She says her daughter was home alone on a Pro-D day and she distinctly remembers locking the door behind her as she left for work.

When the doorbell rang, the teen noticed a vehicle outside, and a tattooed man outside the home. She decided not to answer the door, according to the mother. Instead, she started making her way upstairs, when she heard someone coming inside the home. That’s when the 13-year-old girl hid in a room of the home and called 9-1-1.

“You should feel safe in your own home, you shouldn’t feel like you’re going to be victimized or violated,” she said.

Police were called shortly before 12 p.m. on Tuesday to a report of a break and enter in progress at the home, which is in the 10000 block of Seaton Road.

The suspect rang the doorbell and tried to get inside the house through the back doors before forcing himself inside through a side door, according to police.

“Once inside the suspect stole a 55 inch LG Led flat screen television with serial number #55LF6000, an old wood stained jewellery box along with various pieces of jewellery from the home,” said Cst. Jesse O’Donaghey in a news release.

The mother told Global News, her daughter’s room was rummaged through.

“He went through her little jewelry box stuff too and then came downstairs and he grabbed our cordless phone and our remote control and the TV… she said it was all within five or six minutes, it just went so fast,” she said.

A vehicle the suspect was associated to was driven up to the home and left idling, while a woman suspect waited inside the vehicle, said O’Donaghey.

The male suspect is described as a bald Caucasian male, 30 to 40 years old, with tattoos up both sides of his neck with two skulls on the right side of his neck and a black and grey striped tattoo on the left side of his neck. He was wearing a black t-shirt, black hoodie and two-toned blue and black jeans.

The female suspect is described as Caucasian with long dark hair past her shoulder.
