A Chilean crime ring is targeting high-end homes in Michigan, where a sheriff implored residents to hardwire alarms and keep mum on social media about vacation plans.
A sophisticated Chilean crime ring is terrorizing one of Michigan's wealthiest counties once again, looting several homes last week while their occupants were away on spring break vacations, the Oakland County Sheriff warned this week. Burglars in groups of three to six have targeted cash, safes, jewelry and high-end handbags in the reported break-ins, Sheriff Michael Bouchard said at a press conference this week.
The Chilean gangs have been hitting us very hard,' he said. 'They are super well-trained when they get here – highly organized. They look like ninjas – they're all masked up, gloves. They each have a backpack with their particular set of tools for their job in the burglary.' The thieves will often use a jammer to disable wireless alarms, Bouchard said – he implored residents to hardwire their alarm systems and make sure they are turned on when they leave home.
All seven of the Chilean looters nabbed last year came to the U.S. through a visa waiver program, which Bouchard implored the federal government to pause: 'All of the intelligence estimates – just from Chile – we have 100-plus teams in operation right now in America,' he said. 'That doesn't mean they can't visit but they just have to get a regular visa, which comes with a little more scrutiny.
