STOCKTON — A Stockton home was burglarized by a group of at least four men, police say, and the family watched as their break-in played out on their doorbell camera.
On Monday, before 8:30 p.m., Stockton police officers responded to a neighborhood near Hammer Lane for reports of a break-in. The call to 911 was made by the family when they realized their home was the target.
Officers arrived along with the department’s helicopter, but police say the group was already gone when the home was surrounded.
The family shared an image with CBS13, which was also shared with police, of what is believed to be the getaway vehicle — an older model black 4-door sedan.
The video, shared with CBS13 by the homeowner, shows one man in a mask and gloves approach the door, ring the doorbell, then cover the camera for a few seconds. When he removes his hand, two other men approach the door and the first man begins kicking it to get inside. When the door doesn’t budge, efforts turn to the glass window, and when it breaks, four men enter the home.
