I don’t think this is for you.

Go Holda, I there’s.

I thought it was Justin that the dogs are barking at, but there is a homeless man on Taran’s bed in his room.

I’m sorry, man, I thought my girl is in your, your house.

Home security cameras don’t just catch porch Pirates and pranksters, they also record some seriously harrowing, creepy and violent crimes.

We’ve gathered some of the most shocking crimes caught on home surveillance.

Welcome to sidebar presented by law on crime.

I’m Jesse Weber.

Home security cameras- that some of you out there have them right.

Maybe check on your baby in another room.

See who’s dropping off your package.

Maybe ignore an annoying neighbor ringing your doorbell.

Pretend you’re not home.

Look, they’re convenient, they’re useful, but, most importantly, they are designed to help keep you safe.

And I say this because those cameras are vital in legal cases.

They can pick up nefarious characters outside, outside or inside your home, or maybe even crimes happening in your neighborhood, and that is what we want to discuss.

These eight heinous crimes are proof that anything could happen right outside your front door.

Let’s start off.

In Kent Washington, which is south of Seattle and the winds, a married couple had just come back from a casino.

Around 1:00 am they enter their home when suddenly a masked man comes from behind running up to the door with a gun in his hand.

Now the winds think that the man may have followed them all the way from the casino.

Mrs Wi sees the suspect runs inside.

The suspect managed to get his foot into the doorway, blocking the woman from closing it completely, but her husband stepped in to help get the door fully closed.

In fact, the couple’s son, who was in the house, told the local news Outlet K7 the moment she got inside the house she did a 360 and leaned as hard as she could on the door and didn’t close all the way.

He had his hand in between the doorway and he also had a foot, kind of like a stop.

See, that’s when the suspect realizes that he’s on camera.

So what does he do?

He starts pistol whipping the ring doorbell, seemingly trying to rip the Whole Thing Off the Wall.

It’s also weird because you can see a second person on the footage too.

Anyway, it seems that the man runs off after this.

Now, keep in mind what would have happened if Mrs W didn’t see the suspect behind her and he was able to get inside the house.

That’s pretty scary to think about at the time of this recording.

Police say that the camera gave them a good look at the suspect’s face and they are currently on the lookout for him now.

In that same vein, let’s go now to Colorado, where a ring camera caught two suspects at a family’s door in July of 2022, and you can see the male suspect has some sort of mask or wig on his head.

The couple says that they were walking in Wheat Ridge, which is a suburb of Denver.

When the suspects followed them home, Mal suspect pulled out a gun, pointed it toward the front door, and then you can hear the door slam and the suspects appear to laugh as they run away.

It’s weird.

It’s frightening.

It’s really weird.

It’s kind of incredible that the slamming door stop this from escalating further.

Now, get this.

The suspects then hop into a waiting car.

They speed away and police say that afterwards they’re believed to have been involved in an armed robbery just a half a mile away.

And although at the time of this recording these people haven’t been apprehended and the wheat rdge Police Department is asking for the Public’s help for information, the department did release a statement about the suspect saying quote, although they both appear to be wearing costumes or at least wigs.

Their faces are quite clear.

In other words, if you know them, odds are, you’ll recognize them.

Next up we’re going to go to Oregon.

Now we have an indoor camera this time, and this camera caught a woman sleeping basically on top of a pile of clean clothes on a child child’s bed.

I think you need a little bit more context here.

So Kelsey Smith of Portland says that she left her front door unlocked so that contractors who were doing construction on the home could come and go as needed.

But then she heard dogs barking, and Smith assumed that they were barking at her husband.

But that is when she found 54-year-old Terry Zinzer on her 10-year-old son’s bed.

Yes

So, first the outside camera appears to catch Zinzer illegally entering the home, and then we switch to an interior camera where Smith says that she has that camera set up in her son’s room to monitor him.

For medical reasons.

She never thought something like this would happen, because you can see on camera, Zinz are making her way onto the bed as the dogs are barking.

Now Smith was on the phone with a friend when she realized it wasn’t her husband on the bed, but a stranger.

What is your problem?

Oh my God, Justin, it’s okay.

Uh, uh, uh, Gail, Gail, Gail, Gail, uh, Gail, I need help.

Um, hold on, I there’s.

I thought it was Justin that the dogs are barking at, but there is a homeless man on Taran’s bed in his room.

It’s crazy stuff now, as you’re about to hear Smith yelled at the woman to get out of the house, and that is when Zinzer gets up and appears to pick up an ottoman off the floor, apparently charging its Smith.

Go, go.

Ziner is then seen on the outside camera again leaving the house.

Reportedly, Zinzer has a history of doing this and the Da has dropped charges in the past because they said they couldn’t Force Zinzer, who’s homeless, into mental health treatment.

She has these issues with competency.

Well, apparently, Zinzer was later arrested after allegedly entering another woman’s home, sleeping on her bed and wearing one of the woman’s dresses over.

Now to a disturbing video from Harahan, Louisiana, outside of New Orleans.

So this video shows a woman pulling a small wagon with a bucket inside, and police say in that bucket is the body of a six-year-old girl, Bella Fontanel, 43-year-old Hannah Landon, the woman accused of pulling the card along so calmly, is the girlfriend of Bella’s father.

Landon allegedly killed the child by beating and strangling her to death in the home that she shared with Bella’s father, then put her body in a chlorine bucket, casually walked the body up the street on the wagon, even as a car passed by and left it for the girl’s biological mother to find.

It is absolutely horrific.

Yeah, Fontanel’s father reported Ed his daughter missing in April of 2023 and hours later the kindergartner body was found in a bucket on the mother’s front lawn.

Fontanel’s mother lived only about a block away from her father.

A Jefferson Parish Grand Jury indicted Landon in August, charging her with first-degree murder, as well as obstruction of justice for allegedly disposing of Bella’s body and burying her own cell phone to try to keep it away from investigators.

Authorities don’t believe that Bella’s parents were involved in the crime.

As we continue our discussion of some of the shocking crimes caught on home security cameras, we got to talk about a front porch camera in Connecticut that shows the moment a quick-thinking homeowner shoved a man who was apparently pretending to be a delivery person.

I, this is for you.

Yeah, this happened on April 14th 2023, around 9:45 in the morning in a neighborhood out in Connecticut, and the suspect comes up to the porch wearing a bright, right orange vest, holding a package, seemingly posing as a delivery person.

When the homeowner comes to the door, the suspect moves in closer, trying to get inside.

It turns out: in addition to a fake package, he also has a gun.

The homeowner, again without missing a beat, shoves the suspect back hard.

He almost falls down the front steps before running to a waiting truck in the background.

And only about an hour after the attempted home invasion, East Haven Police were able to post photos of of the suspect on their Facebook page, so they get tips about who the suspect could be, and that led to the eventual arrest of 37-year-old Xavier Otero.

They also arrested the alleged getaway driver, 26-year-old Jean Kisio Torres.

Investigators say that the two had planned several home invasions that included tying up homeowners with zip ties while they robbed them.

Also, when police searched the home that was associated with Terio Torres, they found a stash, a fentanyl and evidence of a possible drug Factory operation.

Well now the two are facing multiple charges, including home invasion, threatening unlawful restraint firearm possession, with Kisio Torres specifically facing narcotics related charges, all thanks to this camera.

Next we’re back in Louisiana, this time in Mandaville, a man wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt of all things appears to be trying to break into a home around 7:30 in the morning.

This happened back on May 22nd 2023.

This, say you police say that his 28-year-old Darren Cavalier, going up to the home with a machete wrench and screwdriver- tell me that’s not just absolutely terrifying and what looks like a scene straight from a horror movie- he walks around the door and calls out for the people inside the home.

When that doesn’t work, he starts slamming his shoulder into the door and then makes a weird statement.

Is that you talk to me?

What’s the point?

You can just shoot me in the head right.

He then tries to make his way in the door, hits the machete against it, and that is when the woman inside the home finally confronts the man and he has an odd excuse for being there.

Police.

I’m sorry, man, I thought my girl is in your your house, Yeah.

And then he walks off.

Police arrested Cavalier, who they say was on some type of drug, and they booked him into jail on an aggravated attempted burglary charge.

And apparently this is not his first run in with the law.

No reporting indicates that cavaliere was previously arrested for battery on a dating partner, simple criminal damage to proper y, resisting an officer and possession of an open container in a motor vehicle all right now.

Take a look at this video of a home invasion that happened in broad daylight in Portsmith, Virginia.

Get in the Cri, don’t say nothing.

Don’t say nothing.

Get in the closet, get closet.

Right now.

An elderly couple were in their home when two armed gunmen broke in.

They forced the couple then to get into a linen closet in the closet.

It happened on September 14th 2022.

The woman in the video immediately does what the suspects want, but the elderly man on the couch is going too slow for them

And you heard the woman say there that the man just had hip surgery.

He actually had a walker.

Video shows one suspect then going into another room as the other suspect appears to grab cell phones from the living room couch.

He also takes something from the kitchen Counter.

The suspects finally leave with one carrying a safe and police say they also took a wallet.

Now it seems that the uh elderly couple were not injured, but the two suspects were identified as Mitchell bony Jr and Tyrie deont

Bony Jr. after the video went viral, Mitchell Bony Jr actually turned himself into police and he was charged with armed burglary, use of a firearm abduction and conspiracy to commit a burglary.

I tell you so many of the incidents that were covering the victims are really lucky to be alive, and that is where we want to finish our countdown with this wild ring video from Las Vegas, Nevada, where a man got very lucky when the gun that an attempted robber was using jammed.

This happened on a Sunday afternoon on July 24th 2022.

The victim comes home and Parks his car in the garage and a man comes off the street demands his belongings.

So the victim runs across the street and the suspect, who has a gun, tries to shoot at him.

But the gun doesn’t go off.

He fumbles with the weapon as the victim’s able to unlock a gate to get away from the man.

Some have wondered whether a hand covering that the suspect seemingly wearing may have gotten caught in the slide of the gun, preventing it from firing.

Whatever the case may be, this victim was thankfully not shot.

The victim was able to get away.

The suspect fled in a black car and within days of releasing this video to the public, Las Vegas Police identified the attempted shooter as Armando Dangerfield.

He was arrested out in Arizona and faced multiple charges.

So yeah, we talk about body cam footage.

I’m one phone calls, interrogation, Cctv cameras, but those home security systems.

Not only do they capture these intense moments, they are very important pieces of evidence in these criminal cases.

All right everybody.
