Police believe these suspects are targeting specific affluent neighborhoods for burglary throughout the state.
Hillsborough police speculate that the increase in break-ins in wealthy communities could be tied to the Rolex robbery gangs that have plagued many Bay Area cities such as Oakland, Danville, Walnut Creek and San Leandro. Victims have had their six-figure watches taken from them by force, with Oakland reporting 20 such crimes in the last year. Corteway posits that the same group of organized criminals has now graduated to bigger bounty.
"We believe multiple groups are targeting specific affluent neighborhoods for burglary throughout the state and they include tourism burglars as well as local groups that have added residential burglary to their activities," Corteway said. "It is our belief that local criminals, especially gang members, have increased their criminal activity from robberies to include residential burglary, and they are willing to travel.
Police are going over footage collected from the department's camera systems as well as that from victims and witnesses in these cases. However, the department would like to encourage homes with surveillance systems in the areas of the burglaries and surrounding streets to check their footage during the timeframes of the crimes to check for suspicious people or vehicles.
Police are particularly interested in footage of a silver or gray four-door sedan, possibly a Honda. People can contact Corteway at 375-7552. Copyright 2022 by Bay City News, Inc. Republication, re-transmission or reuse without the express written consent of Bay City News, Inc. Is prohibited.
