LOS ANGELES – A robber who broke into a home business in Los Angeles to loot was caught as he stopped to watch pornography on a computer.
The robber also took some time out to smoke and charge his phone, CCTV footage shows. He appears to have snuck into the vent on Monday night store owners Lisa and Steve Mirizzi told KTLA.
The couple, who lives in an apartment upstairs with their family, shared how they first noticed and then confronted the man, who has been identified as 28-year-old Alan Estrada.

Lisa described walking downstairs to make some tea only to find Estrada watching porn on the computer and masturbating.
Screaming when she saw him, her son and husband then ran downstairs and chased the intruder.
Estrada tried escaping through one door but realized he couldn't because the door had a padlock on it. When he tried fleeing again, the couple's son Giovanni managed to stop him.
After he 'decked him, picked him up and body-slammed him' police were called to the scene and arrested Estrada.
“It almost felt like a dream because it's like, 'Is this really happening?'', Lisa told KTLA.

The family said their stolen cash and credit cards have been returned, making the whole situation easier to look back on.
