Attempted home invasion scheme caught on camera in Whittier

Surveillance video captures an attempted home invasion by a group of men pretending to be gas company workers in Whittier. The incident happened on May 24 at a home located in the 8100 block of Bradwell Avenue at around 7 p.m., according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The men wore facemasks and hoodies while one of them wore a brightly-colored work vest. They asked the homeowners if they could enter the property to check their meters. Feeling that something wasn’t right, the homeowners denied their request and sent them away. Moments later, the suspects came running back. KTLA's Chris Wolfe reports on May 25, 2024.
