Video shows burglars armed with guns

DeKalb County Police are investigating a scary burglary that was caught on camera. A child's room was ransacked and thieves stole thousands of dollars’ worth of electronics.

STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. - Home surveillance video appears to show men breaking into a single mother’s Stone Mountain apartment with load guns. The mother says the men ended up ransacking her son’s room for more than $5,000 worth of electronics.

It happened around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday. Ashly Gray says she was at work and her son was at school when the burglars struck, but she watched in real time as thieves made off with her 8-year-old's Xbox and virtual reality headset, and other items.

"I'm normally home. I have lupus, and I often sit there on the couch. I saw them aim guns at the couch. It's very concerning," she said.
