A California homeowners' surveillance video captured footage of three burglars who broke into their house, including one who stared directly at the camera.

In the video, released by the Los Angeles Police Department, two men and one woman can be seen entering a San Fernando Valley home in the mid-afternoon.

The burglars get into the house through the kitchen, peeking and even tip-toeing around as they walk through the living room of the empty home and disappear into what seems to be a hallway.

Say cheese! This young burglar stared right into a security camera and he and two pals robbed a home in Los Angeles - making off with a large safe and multiple guns

A California homeowner's surveillance video captured footage of three burglars, two men and one woman, who broke into their Los Angeles home mid-afternoon

Then one suspect returns. He checks the kitchen again before moving into the living room.

That's when he stares directly into the surveillance camera and realizes he's being filmed.

The boy immediately ducks and then hits the camera over, but not before it was able to capture a visual of his face.

The LAPD released the video on its Facebook page with the hope that it would help identify the burglars, who escaped with another man not seen in the surveillance footage, from the March 2 incident.

A 5ft safe and a number of firearms were stolen from the home, according to KTLA 5. Police did not specify the number or types of guns that were taken.

Police said all three of the burglars were 17 to 20 years old, according toNBC Los Angeles.
