A woman confronted a burglar and he fled in one of two house burglaries that occurred Wednesday, police said

At about 2:15 p.m. Wednesday, a Kensington Oval home was broken into by a man who smashed the window on a door and opened the lock. He was described only as a young man wearing a black hoodie. The homeowner, a woman, was in the house and confronted the burglar, who turned, ran away and escaped, Detective Capt. Joseph Schaller said.

In the second incident a Rhodes Street house was discovered broken into at 2:53 p.m. Police did not have details.

“There is apparently no relationship between these two burglaries,” Schaller said today.
