A Lake Ridge homeowner intercepted two young men who were trying to enter the residence, Prince William County Police said. 

Police responded at 10:41 a.m. Friday to the report of a burglary on the 11900 block of Oakwood Drive. The homeowner told police that he saw two unknown males outside his rear sliding glass door.
