Ring video shows armed robbers rush into home after accomplice selling chocolates gets homeowner to open door

A stunning Ring doorbell video showed the moment that three armed robbers rushed into a home after their accomplice got the homeowner to open the door by pretending to sell chocolates.

The harrowing incident unfolded in Stockton, California, on Monday at about 1:47 p.m., according to police.

The video shows the man with a box of chocolates, pretending to be selling them. When the homeowner opens the door and gives him cash, three armed masked men run into the home.

Police said the female homeowner was ordered to the ground while the robbers stole personal items from her home. She said they were in their twenties or thirties.

Even more startling is the video from a neighbor that showed what appeared to be the same chocolate-selling accomplice pulling the same scheme at his door.

The man, who wanted to remain anonymous, said that he felt something was off with the man at his door so he decided not to open it.

“At that moment, nothing was going through my head, I just thought they were someone selling candy,” he said to KOVR-TV.

He said that he was suspicious because the man outside was not facing his camera as he rang the bell.

“What if I had opened the door? What if I would’ve decided to buy some candy? It’s definitely put me on situational awareness,” he added.

Another neighbor said the same suspects knocked on the doors of homes on the entire block.

Police said they are looking for three Asian male adults and one black male adult as suspects in the armed robbery. They drove off in a black SUV. There is a $10,000 reward for information leading to their arrest.

They are also warning homeowners to be careful when opening their door to a stranger.
