UNION CITY — A group of would-be home invasion robbers were thwarted when a girl saw them and had her family call police, authorities announced Sunday.

The incident occurred Friday around 7:45 a.m., on the 30900 block of Tidewater Drive. When the girl saw “several armed suspects” outside her home, she warned family members, who called 911 and scared the suspects off, police said in a news release.

Police describe the crew as “four males” with masks and hoodies, and say at least two had pistols. They were seen driving away in a white Ford Taurus.

The incident doesn’t appear to be related to the attempted kidnapping of an 11-year-old girl earlier this week, authorities said.

Anyone with information can contact Union City police Det. Michael Bedford at 510-675-5266 or michaelb@unioncity.o
