A house invasion in Denver was recorded via a ring doorbell in “an old crime with a new twist,” according to one expert.
In what might be a worrying new trend, three twisted armed robbers masquerading as deliverymen broke into the house of a Colorado family and assaulted two children, according to authorities and experts.
The children’s distraught parents saw the phony delivery guys enter their home on a Ring doorbell on June 12 while they were away from home.
According to an Aurora Police Department announcement, the males reportedly attacked the babysitter and assaulted two children, a 6-year-old boy and a 14-year-old female.
Retired NYPD Sgt. Joseph Giacalone, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, described the incident as “an old crime with a new twist.” “These guys are always looking for a new way to get into your house, and I’m sure police are very worried about whether this is a growing pattern.”
