KINGWOOD, Texas -- A Kingwood, Texas couple was awakened early Friday morning by a naked man standing over their bed.

Home security video captured the man, who was wearing only shoes, a face mask, and a ball cap. He tried to break into other homes before making his way into Heather Dumais' residence.

"It's very unnerving to wake up and see anyone standing there, never mind in full nudity," Dumais told ABC13.

It happened at about 3:25 a.m. Dumais said she nudged her boyfriend, Jason Graham, awake. Graham then chased the man downstairs and outside into the woods.

"It's just incredible that someone is that bold to be able to come into the house. I really believe this is some type of sexual perpetrator," Graham said.

The couple believes the man stole Dumais' purse, a photo of her college-aged daughter, and her daughter's bra. He rummaged through drawers, they said. They are not sure how he got in or how long he had been in the house.

Neighbors on Timberlark Drive reviewed home security cameras and found a number of videos of the intruder in their Hunters Ridge neighborhood near Creekwood Middle School, starting at about 2:18 a.m., about an hour before the intrusion. The couple fears he was inside their house for about that long.

Video shows him checking the front doors of several homes. It appears when he could not get into the one house, he rubbed his genitals on the car in the driveway before moving on.

On Friday afternoon, friends distributed flyers alerting residents and asking for any additional video. Houston police are investigating. The couple wants everyone to beware.

"We need to get him off the streets. He needs help, and this is not normal," Graham said.

"We really just want to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else," Dumais added.

The intruder, believed to be in his 20s, is described as tall with a thin build. He is white and pale with dark brown or black hair.

QUEENS - Residents of Whitestone in Queens are on high alert after a series of burglaries in the neighborhood.

According to the NYPD, the suspects have struck at least 13 homes between June and August. 

Home surveillance video given to FOX 5 NY shows the suspects getting into one resident's BMW and then attempting to break into her home. 

Detectives say in some cases, the burglars ended up empty-handed because they were caught in the act after they were confronted by homeowners.

The suspects are wanted for stealing vehicles, including a Porsche, an Audi, and several BMWs and Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

Residents told FOX 5 NY that they want a heavier police presence at night, because that's when the burglars are striking. 

According to the NYPD, while most of the crimes happened in Whitestone, the group is wanted in connection to similar crimes in other areas, including some parts of Queens and Brooklyn. 

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/, or on Twitter @NYPDTips.  

Police say all calls are strictly confidential.

THROGGS NECK, The Bronx (WABC) -- A violent robbery could have ended worse for two bodega workers, before the tables certainly turned.

At around 3:30 a.m. on September 5th, police say five men entered Green Apple Deli on East Tremont Avenue.

The dramatic footage from that night, exclusively obtained by Eyewitness News, shows the moment when one of the suspects snuck behind the counter and put the worker in a sleeper chokehold. That clerk, fearing for his life, tries to fight back while another suspect empties the register.

"The only thing on his mind was to protect - like how to get released from his hand from his neck and defend himself," said the worker to through a translator.

And defend himself he did. Wiggling free, he fights off his assailant.

At that point, the suspect then tries to run away with his accomplices, but they leave one person behind.

That person is then seen being taken down by the clerks, who pin him down until police arrive.

Speaking exclusively to Eyewitness News, the owner of the deli championed the efforts of the employees.

"Of course, we're going to defend ourselves especially if you go behind there," he said.

Police say the suspect who applied the chokehold has been arrested. Another suspect has since turned himself in.
