Thief caught on camera robbing home in Kalorama
A military family living in the Kalorama neighborhood of D.C. is looking for help trying to find a thief who was caught on camera breaking into their home.
"While I was sleeping at 2 a.m., the perpetrator came back and did the same thing. Except for this time, more thorough – stole the rest of my tools that they couldn't carry off before and two bicycles," Williams recalled. "You feel violated that someone's in your space like that, and you're helpless because you're outside. You can't do anything."
Williams says he's going to use this incident as a chance to get to know his neighbors and hopes the spirit of community will help people look out for one another. If you can identify the man in the videos, D.C. police are asking you to call 911.
