Police are investigating a home break-in that occurred early on Sunday.

A burglary alarm at the home, in the 700 block of Forest Avenue, was tripped at 4:30 a.m., prompting a response from Evanston Police Department officers.

Upon arrival, the officers notified the homeowners of the break-in. It appears the burglar broke into the house through an unopened window on the first floor, EPD spokesman Perry Polinski said.

Three laptops, two iPads and a purse were taken — valued at between $4,500 to $5,000.

There are no suspects at this time.
