Scary moment at home for Jenelle Evans … cops say was the victim of an attempted break-in at her place in North Carolina this past weekend, and she tells us her family is rattled.
Jenelle, through her manager August Keen, tells TMZ … “With everything going on already this couldn’t have happened at a worse time. Me and my children are safe, but a bit shaken up, the local community and police department are doing everything to ensure the capture of this person”
She adds, “I’ll soon be exposing the details of what exactly happened that night. For now, we ask for prayers and privacy until me and my family recover from this terrifying experience. Thank you to everyone who is helping us to catch this perpetrator.”
The attempted break-in comes only days after Jenelle regained custody of her 14-year-old son, Jace — who’s been at the center of a lot of drama in her family life lately.
At this point, police in North Carolina have confirmed to TMZ there was an attempted breaking and entering at Jenelle’s place.
The Columbus County Sheriff’s Office tells us … on Sunday, a deputy responded to Jenelle’s home for a call about a breaking and entering, but when they got there the suspect had fled the property.
Cops say an unidentified man attempted to force his way into Jenelle’s home from the back of the residence, and when he was unable to get inside he went into her garage and began throwing her personal items into the yard.
The Sheriff’s Office says when the deputy arrived, no items appeared to be missing … though the lock on the back door where the man tried to enter the home was damaged.
