A South Florida woman says she was forced to move in with family after she noticed a man trying to break into her daughter's bedroom window. 

WSVN reports that Alyandra Valdes returned home after dropping her daughter off at school Monday morning around 7 am to find a man using a crowbar to break in through her daughter's bedroom window. 

As Valdes parked her car, the gate to her Palmetto Bay home was open. She proceeded to take a look.

"I got out of my car, like, no weapons, no nothing, and went to the back to see what was happening," she said told WSVN.

The Florida homeowner says she noticed a man using a crowbar, attempting to break into her daughter's window. She was then approached by the suspect, but she was able to escape. The suspect, who wearing dark-colored clothing and a black hat, fled in a gray older model pick-up truck.  

Valdes tells WSVN that the suspect's timing revealed that he may have studied her routine in order to know when her home was vacant. 

While she hopes that Miami-Dade police will find the suspect sooner than later, she will take to social media to warn others.
