Someone tried to break into a home in the 500 block of Chandler Lane just off of Sproul Road (Rt. 320) in the Villanova section of Radnor Township on Tuesday, according to Radnor Police.
Police received a burglar alarm activation at 1:20 p.m. for the home. Upon arrival, officers discovered a front window open and a foot print on a sofa inside the window.
