Toddler Scares Off Would-Be Robbers In Northwest Charlotte
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A group of men tried to break-into a home in northwest Charlotte Monday morning, but a toddler spotted them and helped scare them away.
It Happened On Long Creek Parkway, off Bellhaven Boulevard in the "Woods At Coulwood" community.
Two men threw a brick into a back window and broke inside the house. The victims say their three friends were waiting outside.
A 3-year-old inside spotted the intruders and ran for her father.
He grabbed a gun and scared off the masked burglars. He didn't want to speak on camera, but told us all the burglars looked young, and may have been teenagers.
Police looked for them, but never caught up with them.
Neighbors like Diana Lopez are worried their homes could be targeted next, "Especially because there's kids in the house, and sometimes they stay with the babysitter, so that's really scary."
One of the burglars fired a shot at the home, but didn't hit anyone.
