Burglary Victim Hid in Closet, Dialed 911

A 15 year-old girl dialed 911 from her Chula Vista (S. Calif.) home when she heard someone trying to break in at mid-day. Chula Vista dispatcher Angie Rivera fielded the call and kept the teen on the line—and quiet—while officers raced to surround the home. At one point the three suspects moved into the closet where the girl was hiding, but didn’t notice her hidden under clothes. Police arrested the trio when they left the house. Rivera, who is the mother of a 15 year-old, said she shed some tears at the end of the incident, knowing the victim was safe. Read more about the incident here and here.
