Overview
- A midday break-in at a Studio City home Friday unfolded as the family was away and their security system alerted them to intruders.
- The homeowners texted neighbor Steve Calabro, who says he rushed over and was blasted in the face with a large canister of bear spray when he tried to take photos.
- Surveillance video from inside the house shows two masked people moving through rooms and heading upstairs during the burglary.
- Calabro says the pair fled through a vacant property and got into a white car where a third person appeared to be waiting, and police say no arrests have been made.
- Local outlets and residents link the incident to a recent spree of Valley burglaries, with NBCLA counting more than 30 reported since last month and neighbors reporting repeat targeting on the same block.
