A barricade situation at a home in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, Wednesday, left some residents blocked off from their homes for hours.
Prince George's County police were called to a single-family home in the 9800 block of Westphalia Rd. about 2:40 p.m. about someone breaking into the home.
When officers arrived, they had information that the suspect might be inside. A few hours later, police went in the home and the suspect was gone.
Just before 6 p.m. police said they believed the suspect fled on foot and began to search for the suspect on the ground and with a helicopter.
Police have found a man they said is a person of interest. The man has not been identified and police said they are questioning him.
Westphalia Rd. between D'Arcy Rd. and Matapeake Dr. was closed for about six hours.
