Burglars were scared out of a Lincoln home after the homeowner grabbed a firearm, pointed the laser-sight toward the door, and told them to leave.

Lincoln Police said on Monday morning just after 5 a.m. in the 2600 Block of S 37th Street, the victim was sleeping when he heard his screen door slam loudly.

The man heard two voices inside of his home, and retrieved his handgun and pointed the laser-sight toward the door. He then told the intruders to leave or they would be hurt.

The victim then heard a metal tool fall to the ground, and saw two people running away from the home.

LPD conducted a search of the neighborhood, and while a small pry mark was found on the victim’s door, no suspects were located.
