Two hooded suspects were caught on video unsuccessfully trying to smash hurricane-resistant windows with a handgun during an attempted home robbery in Florida.
Fort Lauderdale police are searching for the pair, who allegedly tried to break into an occupied home shortly after 6 p.m. on Oct. 19, according to the Fort Lauderdale Police Department.
One of the men, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and red pants, was seen on security footage repeatedly striking a window with a handgun to get inside — but the stubborn glass wouldn’t crack.
“There was just one problem: it was a hurricane impact window, and it wasn’t giving in that easily,” cops wrote in a statement.
The bozo continued to try to smash inside, appearing to hurt himself as he jumped and crashed his body into the windowpane to no avail, according to the clip.
The other suspect, wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and a black mask, looked around aimlessly as his accomplice tried to break in.
“The window did its job. Now let’s identify who’s responsible,” the department said.
Anyone who recognizes the two suspects is urged to contact the Fort Lauderdale Police Department or Detective B. Ledbetter by calling 954-828-6127 or emailing bledbetter@flpd.gov
