Four apartments, three unlocked doors — and an intruder who fell asleep
Imagine returning home to find someone sleeping inside your apartment. That's exactly what one Cambridge resident discovered on November 10.
Waterloo Regional Police say a 44-year-old woman entered four separate units in the same residential building early that morning.
It started at approximately 6:25 a.m., when she entered the first unit through a window — while someone was home.
The next three entries were through unlocked doors.
Property was stolen from one unit. But the fourth entry took an unexpected turn: the woman apparently fell asleep inside.
When the homeowner returned, they found her still there and called police.
Officers arrived and arrested her at approximately 10:30 a.m.
The 44-year-old woman faces four counts of break and enter, theft under $5,000 and mischief under $5,000. She was held for a bail hearing.
Police did not identify her, and no injuries were reported.
The charges have not been proven in court.
The Twikup Take
Three unlocked doors. Four units entered. And an arrest that began with a homeowner finding an unexpected guest asleep inside.
The strangest part of this story wasn't how she got in. It was that she stayed long enough to fall asleep.
