Horrified couple watches their home get burgled via CCTV app while on holiday

A HORRIFIED couple in the UK watched their home being burgled via a CCTV app while on holiday.

The BBC reports that Donna Marusamy was enjoying a weekend break on England’s southwest coast with her husband and children when she noticed movement in the family’s garden via the app.

The couple then watched in horror as a burglar entered the living room of their home in Sutton Coldfield in the West Midlands, 200 kilometres away.

The thief, who was wearing a hooded top, can be clearly seen roaming around the home looking for things to steal.

She said: “We thought it’s either a ghost or someone is in our garden.

“We zoomed in and I said ‘I think it is someone checking out our house’.

The burglar, however, made off with wedding rings belonging to Marusamy, her husband, and his father, as well as an Air-King Rolex, Indian gold jewellery and passports.

The family cut short their weekend break and returned home, the BBC reported.

“I thought I am splattering your face everywhere so I uploaded it to Facebook,” Ms Marusamy said.
