PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Not knowing they were being recorded, two men wearing gloves broke into a home in the Graduate Hospital section of Philadelphia in the middle of the day Tuesday.

"They climbed through the window, stepped into the sink, came in and went through our house," said Michael Raphael.

They carefully cased the row home floor by floor. The 14-minute home surveillance video shows the pair making off with electronics, cash and some jewelry.

"It's just the fact we could see them walking around the house, chatting and talking, being oddly careful," said Raphael. "It's invasive. It feels awful."

Residents say that Tuesday's midday burglary is not the first on what is normally considered a safe block.

Theresa Pearsall's home surveillance caught someone stealing items from outside her front door the night before. A block away, a church was also hit.

PHILADELPHIA (WTXF) - A mother wants to know why after she says her son was beat up at MLK High School. The 15-year-old's jaw was broken and had to be wired shut. Police say he may be a victim of the 'Knockout Game'.

"This is his diet for the next 30 to 60 days," his mother said. A protein milkshake is all that Niquan Martin will eat for the foreseeable future. The 15-year-old’s jaw is broken in three places and wired shut after being attacked in the hallway at Martin Luther King High School Friday afternoon.

"Someone came and blindsided him—hit him. He aint’ even know what hit him,” his mother, Nicole Brooks, said.

Niquan’s mother says the attack on her son—who is in special education program—was unprovoked. Police say it may be a case of the 'Knockout Game'.
