He yelled at them, but they didn’t run away at first.
“Very frightening situation, especially when you have children,” said homeowner Peje Kharrazi. “Even before it was… they would come when they knew you weren’t home. And now, they don’t even care if you’re home or not home.”
Police say they found no evidence of a break-in or forced entry.
