Two men attempted to break into an apartment complex in the 300 block of Sherman Avenue Saturday morning.

The men entered the complex’s communal area through an unsecure door, Evanston Police Cmdr. Brian Henry said. The apartment resident, a 25-year-old woman, observed the men trying to gain entry into her ground-floor apartment’s kitchen window from an indoor communal area.

Henry said the woman confronted the men, and both subjects ran out of the communal area. She then called 911. When police arrived, the men had fled the scene, Henry said.

EPD has no suspects at this time.
