On January 19, 2026, at approximately 5:32 A.M., deputies were called to the report of a break-in at a residence in the Township of Randolph, County of Dakota, State of Minnesota. The reporting party told deputies that a camera inside the residence captured two individuals inside the house wearing all black clothing with their faces covered. The reporting party stated the suspects were looking through a china hutch while he was watching through the camera. Despite the attempts to conceal their identities, the reporting party told deputies he believed one of the individuals was Joshua David Haro.
Deputies responded to the residence and located a vehicle known to be driven by Haro parked in the woods off to the side of the residence. Deputies noted there were two sets of footprints leading from the vehicle to the residence. Deputies made several announcements over a squad intercom for the suspects to exit the residence without success. Upon making entry, deputies encountered Haro. Haro denied to deputies that anyone else was inside the residence initially, but when told there were cameras, Haro admitted the other person inside was his girlfriend, SAMANTHA JO KRAUDY [DOB REDACTED]. KRAUDY then exited the residence and was taken into custody as well.
Deputies spoke with the reporting party again who stated that neither Haro nor KRAUDY had permission to be inside the residence. The reporting party stated that Haro had gotten into the residence on a prior occasion and stole several items. Deputies were provided with several video clips from inside the residence showing Haro inside the residence open the front door for KRAUDY before both of them begin walking around inside still wearing full coverings of their faces. After waiving her Miranda rights, KRAUDY told deputies that she and Haro drove to the residence for a “spiritual reason.” KRAUDY told deputies Haro told her he had permission to be at the residence but that when Haro’s key didn’t unlock the door that he crawled through an unlocked window and then let her in through the door.
When asked why she and Haro didn’t exit the residence when initially requested by deputies, she stated she and Haro were scared.
