Oklahoma City Police say two men burglarized a home while the woman living there was taking a shower, they're still looking for one of the suspects.
Oklahoma City Police said Tuesday, two men snuck in and out of a woman's home while she was inside. Before they left, police said the burglars also made off with a number of items close to the victim's heart.
The woman, Justina Sauls said she just got home, put some cash on her coffee table and her baby down for a nap before she took a quick shower. She said she heard a few bumps and thuds but didn't think anything of it till she came out and noticed the cash was gone.
Before she saw the missing cash, Justina said she went to check on her 7-month-old after she got out of the shower.
"Checked on her and noticed she was still asleep so I was like 'yay free time'," Sauls said.
Justina has lived in the Amberwood Apartments on the city's northwest side for about two years. She said after her shower also she noticed the back door was cracked open.
"I didn't really too much question it because I have a cat that, if it's not all the way closed, he will push it open," Sauls said. "Till I sat down and I looked and saw the other back door was kicked off. I was like ‘what the heck.’"
Justina then remembered she put some cash on her table.
"When I got out I noticed the $60 bucks was gone and that's when I knew somebody had been in," Sauls said. "[I] started looking around and noticing, instantly, stuff was gone."
The alleged thieves took cash, along with about twenty iPhones and an apple computer that sat on a shelf by the back door. Even more important, said Justina, they took all she had left of her dad.
"And I'm just more worried about the lures and my dad's stuff. I'm never going to see him again. I'm never going to go fishing with him again and that's all I have left. Just some you know irreplaceable items I'll never get back," Sauls said.
Security cameras caught the two men police said broke in. Police are still hoping to identify one of the men in the footage. The other person, Sauls knew.
"I was angry. I was all kinds of angry," Justina continued. "It's just a violating feeling. There's nothing creepier than knowing somebody's been in your house. Especially while you're right there."
Oklahoma City Police ask anyone with information on who the second suspect is to call Crimestoppers at 405-235-7300.
