Although the homeowners weren't home at the time of the event, they were notified of it via home security footage, according to ABC.
While just before 7 am the following morning, police were called to a burglary scene on Tall Ship Court, where once again through an unlocked first-floor window, three men broke inside the house while the homeowners slept upstairs, and looted the first floor. A woman reported to authorities that when she woke up, a man in a mask and black clothing was standing over her bed. The suspects were surprised by her waking up and fled, reported ABC.
