The Beverly Hills Police Department recently shared a video on their Instagram page that has caused quite a stir. In the video, a suspected burglar can be seen attempting to break into a luxury home in the affluent neighborhood of Beverly Hills, California. However, things did not go as planned for the burglar, as he ended up falling into the pool instead.
The footage, captured by a drone, shows the man climbing out of a window and onto the backyard of the house. He then attempts to climb up a ladder leaning against a gazebo, but unfortunately loses his grip and falls into the pool with a big splash. The police department, in their caption for the video, jokingly referred to it as a "burglar caught in 4K."
The video quickly went viral, with many social media users finding humor in the burglar's misfortune. Some even added to the humor by commenting on the music added to the clip, Rockwell's hit song "Somebody's Watching Me." The police department also invited users to share their own remarks, promising to pin the best ones.
One user joked about the recent earthquake in the area, saying "That Malibu quake must have really hit hard!" Another user pointed out the difficulty the drone operator must have had trying to contain their laughter while filming the incident. The burglar was later identified as David Verdun, 36, of Inglewood, and was charged with burglary.
The incident occurred on January 6, when the police responded to a report of a burglary in progress at a home on South Palm Drive. Fortunately, the homeowner was not at home at the time, but was able to observe the suspect through their interior security cameras. The police were also alerted by the home's security system, which detected the break-in.
After falling into the pool, the suspect attempted to hide in the yard, but was eventually arrested by the responding officers. It is unclear if he was injured in the fall. This incident comes just months after an Amazon driver was recorded on video jumping into a customer's pool in Gardena, California, to cool off on a hot summer day. However, in that case, the homeowner had given permission for the driver to use the pool.
