A teen broke into a house in California, USA shortly after midnight on Saturday and woke a sleeping couple to ask if he could get access to their WIFI.
According to a city press release, one of the residents reacted, shoving the intruder down the hallway and out of the house. The couple then called the police, which found the suspect a block away from the house.
“The couple had been asleep in their bedroom when they were awakened by the unknown suspect speaking to them and asking to use their WiFi network,” Palo Alto police said in the statement.
“Officers determined the suspect had climbed into the home after cutting a screen covering an open window in the side yard,” police said. “The suspect’s motive for entering the home is unknown, but the victims reported that two kitchen knives were missing from a kitchen drawer.”
Officers believe this is not the only time the teen trespassed in an apparent search for wifi that evening. On the night, another person called 911, reporting that around midnight last Saturday she saw a teenage male in the yard outside her bedroom window, trying to get her attention.
