The babysitter with the two kids, ages 2 and 4, was woken up by the sound of breaking glass and burglars downstairs, according to police.
Terrifying moments in Encino Thursday morning after burglars broke into a home and just barely avoided running into a babysitter with two young children inside.It all happened after midnight at a home north of Ventura Boulevard off Liberty, according to police. The babysitter with the two kids, ages 2 and 4, was woken up by the sound of breaking glass and burglars downstairs. She immediately locked herself and the kids in a room as she called 911.
But apparently, the noise that she made getting to the children alerted the burglary crew that was downstairs, telling them that the house wasn't empty as police believe they probably thought, so they all ran off. It's unclear if they even took anything with them. Police discovered the suspects got in by shattering a back sliding glass door, and they also left that way.Security camera footage still has to be reviewed.
