Nanny, Child Walk In On Burglar Who Broke Into Irvine Home
IRVINE (CBSLA.com) — A nanny and a child Monday walked in on a burglar who had broken into an Irvine home in broad daylight.
The burglar smashed in a rear glass sliding door in a home in the 20 block of Royal Grove Monday between 12:20 and 12:37 p.m., Irvine police spokeswoman Kim Mohr said.
It was at 12:37 p.m. that the nanny came home with the child, who lives at the home, and found the burglar on the staircase. Police say the suspect ran past the baby sitter and fled through an open garage door.
He was last seen walking in an eastbound direction.
