The men involved in the actual break-in, that is, the actual burglars were James W. McCord, Jr., ex-CIA agent and Director of Security of the Citizens Committee to Reelect the President (CREEP), Bernard L. Barker, also ex-CIA agent; Virgilio R. Gonzalez; Frank A. Sturgis and Eugenio R. Martinez, also ex-CIA agent. Alfred C. Baldwin, ex-FBI agent, watched the operation of the burglars from the Howard Johnson hotel across the street so that he could communicate with the burglars if he saw something suspicious near the burglars and warn them. G. Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt were in a room in the Watergate Hotel in radio contact with the burglars and Baldwin to co-ordinate the operation.

The five men were Virgilio González, Bernard Barker, James W. McCord, Jr., Eugenio Martínez, and Frank Sturgis. The five were charged with attempted burglary and attempted interception of telephone and other communications. On September 15, a grand jury indicted them and two other men (E. Howard Hunt, Jr. and G. Gordon Liddy) for conspiracy, burglary and violation of federal wiretapping laws.

They broke into the Democratic Party Headquarters that were located in the complex. They were looking for secret information and maybe planting bugs or tapping the phone lines.
