BRAMPTON — A Brampton woman fled her home and called police from the front sidewalk after a burglar broke in this morning, according to Peel Regional Police.

It was just before 10:30 a.m. this morning when a Citronella Lane resident – in the area of Sandalwood Parkway East and Torbram Road– thought she heard someone trying to break into her house.

She took her phone, left the house and called police from the sidewalk.

“She did the right thing,” said Peel spokesperson Const. Lillian Fitzpatrick.
