WATCH: CCTV appeal after masked men burgle two houses in an hour
This is the moment masked burglers broke into a house in a failed bid to steal cars.
Raiders broke into two homes in Walsall and Great Barr within the space of an hour.
Police issued CCTV showing men in one of the properties in a bid to catch the culprits.
Officers believe the gang arrived at the two raids in a black Ford Fiesta.
Two of the gang forced entry into the houses in Greenside Way, on The Delves estate, and St Margaret's Road on the Whitecrest estate in the early hours of December 5.
Two sets of car keys were taken from the house in Walsall, but the intruders failed to steal the cars.
The three burglars fled empty handed after being disturbed at the Great Barr house.
