“I get out of the car and at some point I see that they have guns, so I told my husband to run away,” says the woman, who tearfully explains that she is a mother of two and could never imagine anything like that.
Two suspects knock her husband to the ground when she asks them not to harm him. The men then steal an iPhone, car keys, and a Rolex watch.
When asked what went through her mind during the 15 seconds of horror, the woman begins to cry.
“I definitely don’t want to lose my family and I don’t want my children to lose their father.”

This isn’t the first time criminals have pursued a potential target. In April, ABC7 newscaster Dion Lim reported on a woman who was followed from Richmond to sunset and attacked for her purse and jewelry. That same week, a father was held at gunpoint outside his Concord home after being followed home from lunch in Walnut Creek.
Although she cannot sleep, the woman is grateful to the homeowners for providing the police with these videos, fearing the perpetrators will return.
