Burglary Crew Scared Off By Homeowner: Video

PALOS PARK, IL — Palos Park police say surveillance video shows two burglary suspects running out of a house Friday evening after the homeowner scared them off.

Around 7 p.m. Dec. 13, police responded to a home in the area of 123rd Street and 113th Avenue. The homeowner apparently was in an upstairs bedroom when somebody rang the doorbell. When the homeowner didn’t answer the door, police said the pair forced their way through the back door.

The homeowner, hearing footsteps downstairs, made her presence known. When the suspects realized someone was at home, two male voices yelled at each other to “get out.”

A neighbor’s home video surveillance camera picked up an SUV waiting outside the home, where a third accomplice was apparently waiting. The suspects can be seen running out of the house into the waiting vehicle.

Chief Joe Miller, of the Palos Park Police Department, said the home appears to have been selected at random.

“Burglars will frequently ring doorbells looking for a residence with nobody home,” Miller said.

Anyone with information or security video is asked to call the Palos Park Police Department at 708-448-2191.
