Arthur Jones has revealed how he nearly got robbed by his own lady friend and others on Christmas Day.
Christmas. The time for giving, sharing, and, apparently getting robbed by your own date. Poor Arthur Jones learned this the hard way this past holiday, proving once again that nothing says “Merry Christmas” like betrayal and a near-heart attack.
According to Arthur, it all started innocently enough. He invited his lady friend over for some music, drinks, and holiday cheer. You know, the usual cozy date. But apparently, she had other plans, plans that did not include caroling or exchanging ugly sweaters. No. She teamed up with some random thieves and decided to make his home their personal Christmas present.

Yes, you read that right. His guest had a full-on conspiracy going on.
“I was just here holding my door so they couldn’t get in, but I had to hold my door with force to keep them from trying to break into my house,” Jones said.
“They were going in and out, back and forth through my door, and I knew something wasn’t right,” Jones said. “And so they were on the camera, plotting and setting up to be able to break into my door with the entourage she had with her.”
Around 4 a.m. Thursday, the group attempted to kick the door in. Police reported that when they arrived, the four male burglars had fled, but the two women were arrested.
“We are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying them,” said Detective Kevin Morrissey of the Newcastle Police Department. “Some of the subjects were armed. Use caution. Don’t approach them. Call 911 or the Newcastle Police Department.”
Jones had some words of caution for the community to be on guard.
“I feel a little violated. I wouldn’t wish this on anybody,” he said. “Every dog has its day. They’ll have their day for terrorizing me and my family.”
The moral of the story? Maybe skip inviting strangers, or even casual friends over during the holidays.
So cheers to Arthur Jones, survivor of the 2025 Christmas Day Betrayal. May next year’s festivities be full of peace, love, and friends who aren’t plotting a heist while pretending to sip wine.
