Police say it was just before 3 p.m. on June 20 when the two suspects sit down and look around, allegedly trying to make sure no one is watching them, while not realizing their every action is being recorded on a camera from above.  Then, one of the suspects tries opening up the door.

"That's concerning to me especially it broad daylight," said Mashele Goodwin, a neighbor.

They never get into the home but neighbors think the suspects may have tried burglarizing other homes on the block in recent weeks.

"You have to really be careful and if you have no home security system then it's just gonna be too bad because someone's gonna break in the front of your house of the back of your house," said another neighbor.

Then, not captured on camera, police say, was when someone confronts two, scaring them away.

Anyone with information is urged to contact police.
