GOTCHA: Woman captures video of burgler moments before he rapes her

A Califoia woman used her cell phone to record video of a crook robbing her house moments before he sexually assaulted her, authorities said Wednesday.

Now police hope the 13-second clip will help them catch the fiend.

The unidentified 28-year-old was home alone Tuesday moing when she heard "loud noises," Oakland Police Officer Holly Joshi told KGO 7 News in San Francisco.

"There was a strange man, brazenly in her home, gathering her electronics in a box," she said.

The woman quickly used her phone to record video of the man, who can be seen carrying a box and frantically looking for a way out.

"I'm sorry, can you leave," she is heard saying.

"Yeah," he mumbles in response.

"How did you get in here?" she asks.

The man, described as a 5-foot, 9-inch tall black man in his early 40s and weighing about 160 pounds, goes down a hallway to an open door, looks outside, then exits.

The video ends, but police said the man retued moments later and raped the woman.

"She was very much behind the release of the video," Joshi said. "She wants justice."

A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information leading to his arrest. Anyone with information may call police at (510) 637-0298 or Crime Stoppers at (510) 777-8572 and (510) 777-3211.
