Would-be brazen intruders have been caught on a home surveillance camera in Clyde North.
The footage shows a car pull up at the front of the Clydevale Avenue home about 11.20am on Monday 15 July.
After a few minutes, a man wearing a high-vis vest walks up to the front door before pressing the intercom button.
According to the home owner Gretharan Thiagarajah the men waited in a red ute for his pregnant wife to leave the house.
Another man jumped the side gate with the man in the high-vis vest following.
The men, carrying backpacks, were seen walking down the side of house looking through windows.
At one stage a man in a grey hoodie is captured walking quickly while carrying a piece of timber and peering into the windows.
Mr Thiagarajah, who moved into the area three years ago, said the men tried to force open garage door which connects to the house but weren’t successful.
It wasn’t until he was gardening a couple of days later that Mr Thiagarajah noticed the side gate latch was bent and decided to back-track his cameras.
He said the men left by forcing the gate and running off after being spooked by someone possibly reading the gas and electricity metre.
Nothing was stolen and police are investigating. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
