(CBS) – A frightening scene caught on camera: a masked man making his getaway, minutes after breaking into a home.
It wasn't the only residence on the block that he hit.

It's the middle of the day when the masked man in black catapults over an alley gate in Bridgeport, his escape caught on neighbors' security cameras.
Eleventh Ward Ald. Patrick Thompson says police have the images and are working the case.

Neighbors, in the meantime, are trying to watch out for each other.
