HOUSTON \u2014 A Houston woman confronted a man who broke into her apartment while she and her twin daughters were sleeping.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Surveillance video captured the moment the intruder broke into the apartment near Bissonnet and Gessner in southwest Houston.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The woman named Maria said the suspect turned on the lights and headed straight for her daughters’ bedroom. Thankfully, the girls were sleeping with her that night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The single mom woke up when she heard the noise.<\/p>\n
All while a mother and her twin daughters were asleep inside.<\/p>\n
Maria was shocked to see the suspect loading up a shopping cart with snacks and drinks that she sells from home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She came face-to-face with the burglar and asked while he was stealing her things. She said he pushed the shopping cart toward her and then ran out of the apartment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He got away with about $600 worth of property.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maria told KHOU 11 that the experience was terrifying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, the family is living in fear that he might come back and try to hurt them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maria believes he had other intentions since he went into her children’s room first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said they won’t feel safe until he is caught.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Houston Police Department is investigating the case. If you have any information, please call HPD or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS (8477).<\/p>\n
