Police say the homeowner was at work and his mother who suffers from dementia was home alone.
The woman, police say, was in the front porch when she was approached by the suspect who asked, in Spanish, if he could use the bathroom.
She allowed the suspect to enter the house thinking it was a family member. After the suspect used the bathroom, he went inside the victim’s bedroom and took several items from the nightstand and three firearms.
Then, he calmly walked out of the house and got into a white Ford utility work truck parked nearby.
