Law enforcement agencies in the Denver metro area are investigating two different burglary rings that have been targeting homes and businesses.
One ring focuses on luxury homes, particularly in areas that back up to open spaces and golf courses, while the other is targeting Asian-owned businesses and residences.
Burglary Ring Targeting Luxury Homes
Law enforcement agencies from Arapahoe County and Douglas County are investigating a rise in burglaries targeting luxury homes.
These homes are often situated near open spaces, trails, and golf courses, making them attractive targets for thieves.
The burglars have been stealing valuables such as jewelry, designer purses, cash, and safes during the dinner hours.
There have been no arrests yet, but authorities are closely monitoring the situation and asking community members to stay alert and report any suspicious activity.
Burglary Ring Targeting Asian-Owned Businesses and Homes
There has been an uptick in burglaries targeting Asian homeowners and businesses across the region.
In many cases, burglars follow Asian business owners home from work, gather information about their residences, and then strike.
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office reported nearly $1 million in losses from these crimes this year.
Law enforcement agencies are working to address these specific crimes with targeted efforts and increased collaboration across jurisdictions to prevent future incidents.
Community Response and Safety Measures
Community members are being advised to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to local authorities.
Safety tips include ensuring that doors and windows are locked, keeping lights on outside homes, and hiring reputable contractors for any work being done around the property.
Additionally, local law enforcement agencies are working together across the Denver metro area to tackle these organized crimes and keep the community safe.
