Police in Chiba City are hunting for two masked suspects who were caught on a security camera breaking into a residence while an elderly man slept just feet away
CHIBA (TR) – Police in Chiba City are hunting for two masked suspects who were caught on a security camera brazenly breaking into a residence while an elderly man slept just feet away, reports Fuji News Network (Aug. 25).
The break-in occurred at around 1:00 a.m. on August 22. Security footage from the home’s guest room captured a flashlight flickering through sliding doors before the duo shattered a glass window to gain entry.
Moving silently to avoid detection, the suspects were seen wearing hats, masks, and gloves. With flashlights clenched in their mouths, they proceeded to ransack the property.
The intruders made their way into a back bedroom where the elderly homeowner was fast asleep.
“My blood ran cold. I never thought something like this could happen,” a family member said. “My father was sleeping right there in the back room. If he had woken up and tried to resist, I shudder to think what could have happened.”
The only resident to immediately notice the intruders was the family’s pet cat, which was captured on camera quietly watching the unfamiliar men as they scoured the house. Ignoring the animal’s gaze, the duo continued their search before fleeing through the same shattered window just five minutes after entering.
The victim’s son suspects the property was carefully scouted in advance.
“Salespeople sometimes come by, and since my father is elderly, he ends up chatting with them. I think the perpetrators might have used tactics like that to case the house before breaking in,” he said.
The full extent of the stolen property is still being confirmed, and the family is now rushing to upgrade their home security systems.
Local police are currently pursuing the two suspects on suspicion of trespassing and burglary.

千叶（TR）——据富士新闻网（8月25日）报道，千叶市警方正在追捕两名蒙面嫌疑人，监控录像显示，这两名嫌疑人明目张胆地闯入一户民宅，而一名老人就在几英尺外熟睡。
入室盗窃案发生在 8 月 22 日凌晨 1 点左右。房屋客房的监控录像显示，两名窃贼在打破玻璃窗进入房间之前，曾看到手电筒的光束透过滑动门闪烁。
嫌疑人行动悄无声息，以避免被发现，他们戴着帽子、口罩和手套。他们嘴里叼着手电筒，开始洗劫房屋。
入侵者进入了后面的卧室，当时年迈的房主正在熟睡。
“我当时吓得魂飞魄散。我从没想过这种事会发生，”一位家属说道。“我父亲当时就在后面的房间里睡觉。如果他醒过来反抗，我都不敢想象会发生什么。”
唯一第一时间注意到入侵者的是家里的宠物猫，监控录像显示，它静静地注视着两个陌生男子在屋内翻找。两人无视猫的目光，继续搜寻，五分钟后便从同一扇破碎的窗户逃走。
受害者的儿子怀疑这处房产是事先经过精心踩点的。
“有时会有推销员上门，因为我父亲年纪大了，所以经常会和他们聊天。我认为作案者可能就是利用类似的手段来踩点，然后再闯入我家，”他说。
被盗财物的全部范围仍在确认中，这家人现在正抓紧时间升级家里的安全系统。
当地警方目前正在追捕这两名涉嫌非法侵入和入室盗窃的嫌疑人。
