PLAINFIELD, IL — A resident of Plainfield Township reported a stranger walking into her house and looking around without stealing anything, according to the Will County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies were dispatched at 1:09 p.m. to a house in the 13000 block of South Vicky Street where they spoke with a contractor who said that while he was working, a stranger entered the house and walked around looking at things before leaving the house, spokesperson Kathy Hoffmeyer told Patch. Nothing was reported missing.

The resident, who posted about the incident in a Facebook group, said the man also hugged her dog while in the house.

The intruder, who Hoffmeyer said was described as having long dreadlocks, brown glasses and two piercings in his left ear, was driving a 2017 gray Honda Accord with Mississippi license plates.

The incident remains under investigation.
