The video captures two masked crooks walking up to the residence and inspecting the porch. The first assailant looks around and spots the monitoring system, covering it with his hand for a few seconds. As the pair take up a stance to break through the front door, two accomplices join them just feet away on the lawn.
The first two men combine their strength, kicking open the door. Within an instant, the thugs rush the opening, believing they’ve been successful. It was then that they realized the locked door was actually for their protection.
