In Southern California, a disturbing trend has emerged where burglary gangs are planting cameras in residents’ yards to spy on them. These cameras, often disguised with leaves, are aimed at homes to monitor the occupants’ movements and identify the best times to break in. This tactic has been noted in various areas, including Temecula and Chino Hills.
Law enforcement officials believe these gangs are composed of individuals from South America who enter the U.S. on tourist visas but actually intend to burglarize homes. The Glendale Police Department discovered the extent of this surveillance strategy when they arrested four Colombian men and found a camera in their possession. These men were part of a task force operation addressing the rise in break-ins.
Residents have been urged to check their yards for hidden devices. Some burglaries have already occurred using this method, including a significant theft in Santa Ana where a camera was used to monitor a business owner’s home.
The investigation is ongoing, with various law enforcement agencies collaborating to address this new threat.
