A terrifying scene played out just after 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, when a burglar broke into a home in Fresno, California. Two teens were home alone during the home invasion, a 15-year-old boy and his 13-year-old sister.

The brother stumbled upon Steven Vega, 23, inside their home near E. Butler and S. Clovis Avenues, the Sheriff’s Office stated. Vega, who is homeless, had forced his way in, and he told the teen that he was there to steal their belongings. The boy’s sister had no knowledge of the burglar, nor he of her, at that time.
