Fresno County sheriff's deputies are looking for a man in connection to a burglary and attempted kidnapping.

It happened just after 8:30 a.m. Tuesday at a home on Maple between South and Manning. Deputies say a woman and her two-year old daughter heard a window break in the back of her home. They saw a man in his 20's, who then broke in, stole some merchandise and tried to kidnap the child.

The woman then grabbed a shotgun and told the suspect to leave her daughter or he would be shot. The suspect let the child go, then took off in a blue Honda Civic or Accord.

The suspect is described as a white or light Hispanic man with dirty blonde hair, and wearing camouflage shorts.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Fresno County Sheriff's Office, or Crimestoppers at 498-stop.
