A group of armed home invaders tried to force their way into an Irving Park man’s residence Monday morning, but the bold victim stood his ground and sent the trio running. The entire break-in was captured on security camera footage that was forwarded to CWBChicago.

Around 9:10 Monday morning, three offenders walked through the back gate of a home in the 3300 block of West Warner, according to police and the camera footage. The men climbed the stairs to a back door and began trying to force their way inside.

But the 25-year-old victim held the door shut, denying the men entry.
