Suspect leaves home and shortly thereafter blows off alarm notification, only to find later that home has been burglarized

A residential burglary occurred in the Lido Isle community on Friday, Oct. 15 at approximately 7:15 p.m., in the 900 block of Via Lido Nord.

Around 7:10 p.m., the victim left the residence and shortly thereafter received a notification that the alarm was set off, but assumed it was an accidental activation. Unbeknownst to the victim, three suspects were accessing the side of the house and shattered a window to gain entry. Once inside, the suspects went to the master bedroom and rummaged through drawers in the master closet before fleeing the scene. 

Any loss is unknown at this time.

Suspect #2 was a male wearing a blue sweatshirt and carrying a backpack. Suspect #3 was also a male Hispanic, heavy set, wearing shorts, a black & gold T-shirt, face mask, and was carrying a satchel.
