A man banged on the front door of a residence on Rockridge Road near Sierra Drive Tuesday, announced he was from Comcast and tried to remove a rear sliding glass door from its track to gain entry, according to Hillsborough police.

At about 10:55 a.m., a resident was home but did not answer the door, and looked through the peephole to see who was there. The resident did not observe any Comcast credentials or a uniform so the resident did not answer the door, according to police. When the sliding door opened, the burglary alarm sounded and the man fled the area. He is described as Hispanic, about 6 feet to 6 feet 2 inches tall. He was medium build and wearing dark clothing with a black baseball cap with an unknown black and blue emblem on the front, according to police.
