The calm and unhurried manner in which they ransacked the house left many online stunned.
The men moved from room to room, carefully inspecting every item they came across. As they found valuables, they set them aside before continuing their search.
At one point, CCTV footage showed them walking to the gate and placing some of the stolen items on the perimeter wall, seemingly preparing for their eventual escape.
One of the suspects slowly walked around the parking area, appearing careful not to trigger the car alarm. Meanwhile, his accomplice moved towards the gazebo, shining a flashlight through a window as though attempting to open it.
Eventually, the pair carried out the television set and sound system one at a time before returning to collect more items hanging on the living room wall.
In another startling moment, one of the men was captured at the back of the house partially undressed as he removed clothes from the washing line. After noticing a CCTV camera, he quickly hid himself among the hanging clothes.
