A group of men pretending to be Amazon delivery drivers broke into a home and robbed a babysitter looking after two kids.
Home surveillance footage captured the horrifying moment three unidentified men barged into the home on Wednesday around 8.45pm in the 4100 block of S. Richfield Street in Aurora, Colorado.
The suspects were dressed in neon yellow construction vests and claimed they were dropping off a package to the home, Aurora police said.
A babysitter who was watching the children when the violent robbery took place, cracked the door open before the suspects made their way inside and robbed the family, according to police.
The children’s parents, who called 911 as soon as they saw the Ring doorbell footage on their phone, claim the invaders hit the caretaker, pushed their six-year-old son to the ground and allegedly inappropriately touched their 14-year-old daughter.
