A burglar was caught on camera stealing presents from under a family home's Christmas tree in California's Orange County on Monday (December 18).
According to The CW affiliate KTLA, the couple who resided in the Huntington Beach home said they were at work when the intruder broke into their home through a sliding back door before stealing the presents.
The couple requested not to be identified.
The Huntington Police Department has also not immediately responded to reporters' requests for comment.
Burglar Goes Full Grinch
Home security video showed the burglar wearing a red hoodie and light-colored pants while going through the family's presents under the Christmas tree.
The couple said that several of the presents, including those intended for their children, were stolen. Two iPads, a camera, and several pieces of jewelry were also taken.
"We can replace those things but just to have my kids experience that and know what happened ... it's a little sad for us," one of the homeowners said.
Neighbors added that break-ins in the area were unheard of before the incident and they were shocked by the video.
No further details about the suspect, whose face was caught on camera, have been released.
