That's three, count 'em, three hot burglaries in one night, apparently by one thug.
A 67-year-old Perham man who fell asleep on his couch woke up in the middle of the night, startled to discover that someone had been in his house.

After responding to the first burglary call, at a home in northwest Perham, Christopherson noticed tracks in the grass behind the house and followed them to the back door of a neighboring home.
Christopherson knocked on the door, and a man answered, saying that someone was in his house about a half hour ago. In the house at the time of the intrusion were the man, his wife, and their daughter.

While investigating this second burglary, a call came in about yet another home intrusion—this time in northeast Perham. As with the previous incident, the homeowner reported waking up and hearing someone in his house.
The homeowner said that he took out his 9 mm and drew down on the suspect who was in his home. The man then demanded that the suspect get out of his house, and the suspect ran away.
That's the best way to confront a home invader. Be prepared to defend yourself, if necessary.
Possibly two more, but the article doesn't state that anyone was home.
The other two burglaries reported both involved purses taken from inside the kitchen area of homes. In one case, the suspect entered the home through an unlocked patio door. In the other burglary, entrance was gained through an unlocked back door.
