San Diego police are asking for the public's help in finding who broke into a Carmel Valley home through the bathroom window and ransacked the place, racing to their getaway car only when they tripped a motion detector.
On Tuesday, the residents of a home in the 12900 block of Harkwick Lane left the house to run errands. The house is located north of State Route 56 and south of Del Mar Heights Road.
Within the same hour, at approximately 1:50 p.m., a silver Kia Soul parked outside the home.
The female driver, described as a woman with long, straight black hair down to her waist, went up to the house and knocked on the front door for about three minutes. She returned to the car.
Two suspects -- two men -- then got out of the car and walked up to the house while the car drove away.
The two men snuck in through a side gate and broke the bathroom window, crawling into the home, police said.
The men ransacked the home for approximately 30 minutes before they triggered an upstairs alarm motion detector and fled, police said.
