A Sterling resident was caught off-guard Tuesday night when he came home to find two unknown men his residence.

After a brief confrontation, the two men fled the home in the 22900 block of Rock Hill Road on foot. The resident called law enforcement who later established a perimeter and used a canine to search the area for the two men.

The search, however, yielded no results.

The two men are both described as being of Middle Eastern descent. One was described as being in his 20s, 5 feet 10 inches tall with a thin build, black hair and a thick beard.

The second man was described as being 5 feet 2 inches tall with a thin build and a beard.
