A Chicago homeowner called 911 when would-be robbers broke into her residence. However, she had to wait four hours for officers to arrive at the scene in Wicker Park.
The woman, who is identified as Michelle, told NBC Chicago she recently left her door open at approximately 12:30 p.m. to let her dog outside when the incident happened, the outlet reported Wednesday.

The moment she discovered that a pair of masked men had entered her home, the woman said she screamed and told them she was calling police officers for help. That was when they fled the scene.
After calling 911, Michelle claimed officials told her help was on the way and advised her to wait outside. However, she reportedly waited for a long time and called 911 repeatedly before someone connected her with a supervisor.
