A Liberty Lake family recently awoke to find items missing from their home and garage. They told police someone was in their house as they slept.

A resident in the 23000 block of East Boone called police the morning of Jan. 5 to report the crime. The man said it appeared that someone had gotten into the home through a door leading to the backyard, said Police Chief Brian Asmus.

A duffle bag filled with various items and a bicycle valued at $300 were reported stolen.

Other calls from Dec. 29 to Jan. 5.
