Home invasion and assault caught on nanny cam

A mid-morning New Jersey home invasion, complete with an assault and robbery, was caught on tape when the homeowner's nanny camera recorded the incident.
The woman's 3-year-old daughter sat on the couch during the ordeal, helpless as her mother suffered a beating at the hands of the 5-foot-11, 210-pound suspect.
Police say the black male, who had a salt-and-pepper beard, took off with an undetermined amount of jewelry following the 10:30 a.m. attack Friday in Millburn. The woman's 18-month-old toddler reportedly slept upstairs during the beating, Capt. Michael Palardy told the Daily News.
"Her love for the children kept her going," Palardy said of the brave mom, who had to have stitches.
"Their world's turned upside down right now," he said of the young family.
The chilling video captured the entire midday attack. The brazen assailant entered the home while mother and daughter watched cartoons on the couch. Palardy said the woman heard a noise and went to investigate.
In one version of the tape, which includes the audio of the incident, the suspect can be heard asking the woman "Where your pocketbook at?" as she moans.
"There was no reason for it, she would have given him anything he wanted," Palardy said.
In his final act, the man drags the woman toward the basement steps. The terrified young girl can only watch as the man throws her mother down the steps, then walks toward the front door and takes off after robbing her. The suspect never touches the little girl.
"I knew that if I started screaming, my daughter would, too, and I was afraid she would get hurt," the young mother told News 12. "I took it. I didn't cry the entire time."
The midday attack is so shocking because of how safe a town it is, Palardy said.
A police officer lives on Cypress Street, the very same street as the attack and which receives a heavy police presence because of its proximity to three different towns.
Cypress Street neighbors agree. There has been a rush of residents installing security systems, said Anne Kramer, the victim's neighbour.
Kramer, 15, said her parents were concerned after the attack and plan on setting their security system even when at home during the day.
Police said the man made off with the woman's wedding ring among other stolen items.
The woman was treated at the hospital for leg and face injuries suffered at the man's hands. She was released over the weekend.
The nanny cam, which Palardy said was sitting undisguised on the fireplace mantel, may have been used as a child monitoring device.
