A man pulled a knife on a homeowner after they were reportedly spotted trying to break into a car over the holiday weekend, according to Waterloo regional police.
They say officers were dispatched to a home on Swift Crescent in Cambridge, Ont., on Sunday at around 1:50 a.m. for a weapon call.
The homeowner told police they heard a noise outside, which prompted them to check what was the cause. When they went outside, they found a man trying to open their car door.
Police say the victim then confronted the stranger, who pulled a knife and threatened them before taking off.
There were two other people in the area who also told police that they had seen a suspicious man heading toward their properties that morning.
Police described the suspect as being around 25 to 28 years old, five feet 10 inches tall and about 170 pounds. He was said to be wearing dark clothing.
They say officers are continuing to investigate and are asking anyone with information to call 519-570-9777 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
