ST. PETERSBURG, FL -- Two burglars who tried to break into a St. Pete home went away empty-handed. One of them likely had a bad headache for his efforts.
Surveillance video captured pair as they tried to break into a home on 36th Avenue North Tuesday afternoon.
One placed himself in a football stance and ran the length of the yard into the porch door with his body. The latch held quite nicely. The impact sent the would-be thief flying backwards and onto the ground, where he's seen writhing in pain.
Giving up on the body shots, one of the suspects tossed a brick through a window to get inside. That didn't work out either. The house was equipped with an alarm that began blaring away.
The bandits left in their getaway car empty-handed and probably sore.
