An 85-year old Hancock Lane resident reported he was home about 5 p.m. Thursday when a stranger opened the front door and stepped inside, then claimed he mistakenly came to the wrong address, Athens-Clarke County police said.
The resident’s wife was pulling into driveway as the suspect was driving away in a silver Nissan Altima, which police said displayed Georgia tag BYM9460.
The intruder was described as a black male who was about 5-feet, 10-inches tall, with short deadlocks and wearing a white shirt with black writing, according to police.
