Police searched for a burglar in the San Fernando Valley for hours after one awoke residents of a home, but couldn't find one, officers said.
The residents of a Tarzana home in the 19000 block of Briarfield Way reported just after 4 a.m. that someone entered their house, according to a Los Angeles Police Department spokesman.
The burglar fled the residence, but was believed to have remained in the neighborhood, officers said. It was unknown if the burglar was armed.
Police dogs sniffed the area for the intruder but came up empty, and the search was called off before 10:30 a.m., officers said.
