At the time, a mother and three young girls were inside when the person entered.

“She saw him and said, ‘What are you doing here?'” the anonymous homeowner told CBS News. ‘He didn’t answer, just kept walking towards her and then she just shouted for my children to get out.’

The alleged intruder had knocked on other doors earlier that day, CBS reported. A neighbor informed the homeowner of the intruder via text message.

The man had just entered the home when the homeowner arrived. He then ran inside to pick up his baby amid the chaos.

A second neighbor was also seen rushing to help.

Authorities arrived and found the intruder in the closet of the home. A brief standoff ensued before he was arrested.

After authorities came out with the person, Tucker could be heard yelling at authorities, “Thank you LAPD, we really appreciate you!”

The homeowner praised Tucker, calling him “block security.”

‘He’s patrolling. He makes sure everything is under control. I think he followed him for a while, an hour or an hour and a half. He had called the police earlier,” he said.
