MASON CITY – Police were called to a North End apartment house after residents said a man was inside with a gun.

At 4:50 AM Wednesday morning, a man was reportedly observed at a duplex located at 1224 North Washington Avenue, wearing a bandana over his face and waving a gun, before he entered an apartment. The resident was not home. Police said it is unknown if anything was taken from inside the apartment. During this call, one of the duplex residents also reported his car stolen sometime within the last 8 hours from this location. The victim left his car unlocked with the keys inside the vehicle.

Residents of this address were returning home when they walked into their front porch seeing a person on the stairwell to the upstairs apartment. The invader had a bandana or another type of mask covering his face.

“He was swinging the gun all around,” said one of the witnesses.

At the scene, three Mason City squad cars were there with officers taking reports.

Another resident of this address said, “After the person or persons left, I think they stole my car. My car is missing.” A report was filed.

Police remained at the scene investigating.

“Details are pretty sketchy on this one,” police told NIT. “There were several people present in the building’s downstairs apartment who did not live there but may have witnessed the incident. There was a lengthy time delay between when the man with a gun and bandana was observed and left versus being reported to police at 4:50 AM. Also unknown is the delay from victim reporting his car stolen or leaving cars in unlocked vehicle with numerous guests coming and going. Sobriety of the witnesses may also be a factor.”
