NBC LA: Police warn of new high-tech home burglary trend in Southern California
Thieves are getting high tech and creative in a scary way, hiding cameras in the yards of homes in order to monitor when to break in.
May 29
This is a trend that is popping up all over Southern California. Lost Hills is just the latest neighborhood to be hit after a homeowner turned in the camera and battery pack to sheriffs that was found in their yard on Friday. “It's invasive, it's scary,” Jim Spach, a resident of Saratoga Hills said.
People who live in the Saratoga Hills community of Calabasas are checking their yards tonight.“Yeah as soon as I get home I’m probably going to check the neighbors yard too,” Ryan Harris, a resident of Saratoga Hills said.After one resident found a camera hidden in their flowerbed, the Lost Hills Sheriff's station put out this special bulletin letting the public know about these high tech thieves and their hidden cameras that can be remotely accessed to monitor homes – and later burglarize them.“It just doesn’t make sense that you can’t live in your community and worry that when you come home you can be violated in some respect. That's wrong,” Kim Spaulding, a resident of Saratoga Hills said.Large text.
