A Burlington woman made a surprise discovery at her home Tuesday.

Megan Dueweke said, "I thought that was weird."

Weird that her door was unlatched. But Dueweke knew for sure something was wrong when she entered her Shelburne Street home.

"I heard rummaging upstairs," she said.

The burglar was still inside. Dueweke called 911. And with Burlington cops on the way, she confronted the man ripping off her recently delivered packages.

"I came around the corner and told him to drop my stuff and he could go," she said.

But the burglar wasn't about to leave emptyhanded. Dueweke says he then threatened her life.

"He pulled out a knife and said I'll stab you," Dueweke said. "So I backed off a few feet and he ran out the door."

By then, cops had arrived. They chased the suspect and caught him nearby. They say they found a pile of stolen stuff ditched during the attempted getaway. And police don't believe this is his first rodeo.

"There have been a few burglaries that occurred during the daytime that we believe are related to this burglary here today," Burlington Police Sgt. Jason Bellevance said.

Dueweke got her stuff back. And she may have helped police stop a crime spree in her neighborhood.

"I'm glad they caught him," she said.

Police identified the suspect as Jason Anderson, 41, of Burlington. He faces burglary charges.
