Police released surveillance video of the incident on Thursday.
The video shows the suspect trying to pry open the front door with a type of crowbar.
When that fails, he then covers his face and brings out a torch.
After another unsuccessful attempt to break in, police say the suspect fled the area in an unknown direction.
