Attempted burglary in Edenvale caught on camera

They struggled to open the security gate and were spooked off, only to return moments later when they continued attempting to break open the gate.

Two videos published on YouTube show four men unsuccessfully attempting to break into a house in Edenvale.

According to the person who posted the video, the footage was captured on his father’s surveillance camera situated above his front entrance in Edenvale.

“This is the second attempt of robbery on a Saturday afternoon. The previous attempt was while my parents were actually at home. It’s pretty frightening to see how badly these guys want to get in,” said the poster, Rudi Jeggle, in the description of the two videos.

The first video was posted on March 5 and shows how four men approach the front entrance to the property.

They struggle to open the security gate and are spooked off only to return moments later when they continue attempting to break open the gate.

The second video, which follows on from the first, was published on March 6.

One of the men is seen putting a stocking over his head and more attempts are made to gain access to the property.

Roughly four minutes after their arrival, the men appear to give up and leave.

Seconds later, a car can be seen driving away.
