The scandal also resulted in the indictment of 69 people, with trials or pleas resulting in 48 being found guilty, many of whom were Nixon's top administration officials. The affair began with the arrest of five men for breaking and entering into the DNC headquarters at the Watergate complex on Saturday, June 17, 1972.

And this..

"On 17th June 1972, 5 men were arrested for breaking into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee... ...Nixon resigned on 9th August 1974."
