What was planned as a break and enter took a twist when thieves were surprised by family members during a crime in Huntsville Tuesday.
It was just before 9 a.m. residents at a house on Florence St. W. in Huntsville left for the day.
Shortly after, two men broke into the home not knowing that other family members were still in the house. One resident came out of a room to find one of the men in another bedroom carrying a wallet. The thief pushed the resident, and ran out of the house.
A second man was seen standing at the door and fled in the same direction.
Huntsville OPP used a dog to try and track the thieves but were unsuccessful.
Police say one man is described as wearing an orange and grey sweatshirt, carrying a black back pack. Both were described as being in their early 20's.
Then, shortly after 5 p.m. police were also notified of an attempted break and enter to a back door of a house on George St. located behind the Florence St break in.
Sometime between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. the culprits removed a Master Craft ratchet and socket that was sitting at the back door, along with a small shelf that had a Harley Davidson sticker on it. They were unable to get into the house.
