Surveillance video shows two people in hoodies pulling up in an SUV and parking next to the cruiser. In the video, one of the culprits acts as a lookout while the other attempts to break into the BSO vehicle. 

BSO spokeswoman Joy Oglesby said in a news release that one burglar tried to break the driver's side window, while his partner mostly stood by. She said the accomplice eventually tried to help the other man before they gave up and left empty-handed.
