WELLESLEY (CBS) – Police in Wellesley are investigating an attempted burglary that happened on Glen Road Wednesday afternoon.

A woman says a man she did not know rang her doorbell at about 1:20 p.m. When she did not open the door, she says she saw two other men walking around her house and then heard noises coming from her garage.

Wellesley Police say there have been a number of reports of suspicious people ringing doorbells around town.

The woman was not injured and nothing was taken from the house.
