Police have captured a suspected home intruder they say broke into a home occupied by twelve young women, all USC students.
The incident happened in the early morning hours on Menlo Avenue, just blocks away from campus, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The suspect was recorded looking directly into the home’s Ring camera on the front porch. He was also recorded on a different angle, heading toward the side door, which is where he broke in, the residents said.
That side door is supposed to lock automatically, but it does not. So the suspect was able to walk right in.
Three of the students were sitting at their dining room table doing homework at the time – when one of them started to scream.
“We ran into the other room, locked ourselves in there, and I still didn’t know what was going on, but my roommate said, ‘No. He’s back. He’s here. He’s inside,'” said Sophia Ignon, a student who lives in the home.
The students say it isn’t the first time that man has showed up at the house. He’s been wandering nearby since Saturday, peeking in their windows and looking into their Ring camera.
