Original: On Sept. 14 at 2:36 a.m. officers were dispatched to the 500 block of North Stanwick Road for the report of a residential burglary.   

Upon arrival, officers made contact with the resident who reported that she was upstairs in the residence when she received a notification by cell phone that the back door of the residence was opened. She proceeded to walk downstairs to find her purse and two cell phones had been stolen.
