Security Cameras Catch Broad-Day Burglary in Vista

A Vista family’s surveillance cameras gave deputies an up-close look at three men who burglarized their home in afternoon hours last week.The three men were spotted breaking into a home on a rural street off Buena Creek Road at 4:40 p.m. on April 25, according to deputies at the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department Vista Station.Video shows one of the suspects knock on the front door to no answer before he and another suspect went into the backyard and broke a sliding glass door to enter the home.“They’re extremely well organized, they must have been professionals,” said the homeowner as he watched the surveillance video. He wished that his name or street be shared publicly.The suspects arrived at the house 20 minutes after the homeowners left, deputies said.They took rifles, handguns and a safe from the home and drove off in what deputies described as a dark-colored 2018 Dodge Durango SXT with Bob Baker paper plates.“The monetary value isn’t a concern but it’s an emotional, devastating event to have your house raided in this fashion,” explained the homeowner. The surveillance video also showed one of the suspects pulling the homeowner’s puppy into a crate in the backyard. The dog was left unharmed. The first suspect is described as an 18 to 35-year-old man who is 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs 160 pounds with a mustache and a buzz cut or was bald.
