A man suspected of trespassing into the backyard of a home in Los Altos last week turned out to be a contractor at the wrong home, police said today.

Police on Monday had released photos of the man in the backyard of an empty home in the 200 block of Delphi Circle last Thursday.

The man had entered the backyard through an unlocked side gate and footage from the home's surveillance system showed him peer into the home, but he did not attempt to enter the residence and left, police said.
