Southern California law enforcement agencies are focusing on the trend of burglary tourism, where thieves travel internationally to the U.S. to burglarize homes, then return to their home country.
The Orange County Register reported these South American theft groups are often comprised of Chilean or Colombian nationals who operate as “‘Lanzas Internacionales,’ or international thieves in the Spanish-speaking world.”
Authorities say the thieves are professionals who surveil homes before breaking in when residents are away. They often bring heavy-duty tools to steal or break into safes that are bolted down or mounted.
“Some of these residential burglars have been recorded going through second-story homes,” said Officer Jessica Cuchilla with Huntington Beach Police. “In these instances, the reason why they’re going in through there is because people don’t install alarm systems on their second story.”
The thieves typically ship the items they steal back to their home countries or sell the items before leaving.
They’ve also been known to target affluent coastal neighborhoods as well as homes that border trails, golf courses and parks.

More open borders!
I hear Martha’s Vineyard is nice this time of year.
Be a pity if they got shot by the homeowners.
Open borders have consequences.
Dog bites are good as well.
Chow chows are incredible guard dogs because they attack (”spring”) without a warning bark. A burglar would never see them or hear them until it was too late.
Rumor is that Genghis Khan used them to guard his loot.
Come to California and enjoy the great weather while you steal.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the Catholic Church was involved - you know, in the name of Social Justice (equalizing things).
It’s nice to hear that some illegals go home.
If our country was a person, it would be a bullet ridden corpse with thieves going through the pockets.
Gypsies...
The movie Time Bandits comes to mind.
They steal what’s left over after the government gets it’s cut.
America. A shining beacon on a hill.
Come take our shit. Its all free!
Diversity is our greatest strength.
But these are pikers really. If they really wanted to thieve properly they would declare they are asylum seekers and live the rest of their lives in luxury paid for by the stupid gringo.
joe biden is responsible for this, since he has dissolved the borders, and so today, joe biden, is cancelled.
Why not? The border is only 70 miles from Orange County. No car? No problem, just hop on AMTRAC.
