St. Petersburg - St. Petersburg Police received a 9-1-1 call just before 6 a.m. Thursday of someone inside of Macy's Department Store at Tyrone Square Mall.

The mall was not open to the public at the time.

The backstory:

Apparently, a Macy's employee arrived early to work to prepare to open the store for the day, when the suspect was seen inside the store.

The employee then ran out of the store and called 911 to report the intruder.

Police say they arrived minutes later, conducted a search of the store and found 24-year-old Deanjay Enrique Roberts crouching under a mattress in the bedding department on the second floor.
