SARASOTA, Fla. – (WFLA) - A terrifying armed robbery in Sarasota, Florida was captured on surveillance video, showing the homeowner fighting back.
Three suspects in dark clothing jumped the fence and startled two men sitting on the back porch. The homeowner immediately tried to fight back. He first grabbed a chair, then a board, and started swinging.
