Residents report suspicious man lurking around Mifflin

Residents of Mifflin Street should be on the lookout for a suspicious person lurking in the area.

The suspect is described as a white male in his late 40s and of medium build. He is said to be between 5'7"" and 5'8"" in height with short ""salt and pepper"" hair and a beard. He was also said to be wearing a green zip-up fleece coat.

According to a police report, two 21-year-old female residents reported the suspicious man on the 500 block of W. Mifflin Street last Wednesday, Oct. 14 just after 4 p.m.

The two residents called the Madison Police Department and reported the suspicious man was repeatedly ringing their doorbell and prowling along the front porch.

The residents did not know the man, so they did not open the door, the report said. However, later on, one resident found a note that read, ""Lock your back window. Bob.""

The same man allegedly confronted one of the residents after she left her house. He told her there had been a lot of robberies in the Mifflin area and that she should be careful to lock the back door and windows to her house.
