A subject escaped after an attempted house break on Wednesday night.
Northborough Police responded to the call around 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday night at a home on Davis St., where someone had attempted to force the front door open.
The home, which was in complete darkness, appeared empty. However, when the suspect attempted to force the door open, the occupant turned on the lights after hearing a loud noise, said police.
The subject fled when the lights came home. Massachusetts State Police's K9 unit was called to assist in the search, which led to a location on the side of the road where it appears the vehicle had been parked.
Detective Jeff Noel is investigating.
