An alert neighbor helped scare off a group of would-be thieves at a home in the Tarzana neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley Tuesday night.

The incident took place around 10:30 p.m. in the 5400 block of Auro Avenue when a silver SUV pulled up in front of a home and three suspects wearing hoodies exited the vehicle.

Julian Harper-Smith, who has lived in the neighborhood for more than 30 years, saw the suspects on a sophisticated surveillance system he set up at his home.
