Masked suspects attempted Alexandria break-in; update expected

FOX 5 is expecting to learn more about a viral Ring camera video that shows three masked individuals demanding to be let inside an Alexandria home.

FOX 5’s Stephanie Ramirez reports that Alexandria Police have upgraded the case to an attempted burglary and plan to hold a news conference at 11 a.m.

The incident happened just before 10 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 14, on South Iris Street. Police say the suspects eventually entered the fenced backyard, where damage was later found to the gate and an outdoor storage unit. Nothing was stolen, but the family was so shaken they left the home and are now staying with relatives.

While some laughter can be heard in the 11-minute video, police say the threats were serious and this is no joke to them.
