DAYTON-- A 13-year-old scared off 2 burglars during an early morning home invasion. Cindy Allen said two men broke into her home in the 600 hundred block of Bowen Street about 3:45 Tuesday morning. "They broke in through a down-stairs window." She told ABC 22/ FOX 45 reporter Chelby Kosto. Cindy's 13- year- old nephew Ricky was sleeping on the couch, and startled the thieves who grabbed two purses, and then took off, out the front door. "It was scary." He said. Allen said she has no idea why her home was targeted. "Why me? There are so many houses on this street, what drew them to my house?" She wants to warn her neighbors. "If you live here in this neighborhood everybody please be aware, because if it happened to me, it will happen to you." Police dusted for finger prints at the house. Officers also brought out a K9 who tracked the men to nearby Xenia Avenue, but then lost the scent.
