Detectives say there has been an increase of residential burglaries committed by groups of thieves - who often visit the U.S. on a visa waiver programThe LAPD said Tuesday it was forming a task force with other police agencies to target organized groups of burglars who visit the U.S. from foreign countries, and have been responsible for an increasing number of home break-ins.
“I can tell you that we have a significant increase in burglaries from organized groups that are outside this country, that are coming into the country, and they are targeting high end residents," Chief Dominic Choi said Tuesday.Choi told the Board of Police Commissioners that while the number of property crimes reported to police have declined slightly in early 2024, the number of home burglaries have remained nearly unchanged from this time last year.
“These are Chilean burglary crews that are coming to the United States on the visa waiver program," Chief Jeff Walther told reporters.
