Residential robbers growing bolder


A rash of daytime residential


burglaries has been reported by residents in North Tustin and the East Orange foothills. Several homes in Santiago


Hills have been breached, three homes on Marywood Street (near Meats) were broken into within a few days, and a North Tustin resident who lives near Bent Tree Park reports that his home was robbed during a brief, one-hour period when he wasn’t home. His neighbors reported two white males knocking on doors that day; he had noticed a woman parked in a van near his driveway on previous days. The OC Sheriff’s Department,


which services North Tustin, Villa Park and unincorporated Orange Park Acres, reports a new brand of bold burglars who work in broad daylight. “These people are well dressed and drive high-end cars,” a sheriff’s spokesman said. “They blend in and don’t look suspicious.”


The robbers target affluent ar-


eas and look for unoccupied res- idences by knocking on doors. If someone answers the door, the person pretends to be sell- ing something (solar systems, windows or handyman services in Santiago Hills) or asking for charitable donations (Bent Tree Park). Sometimes they simply apologize and say they must have the wrong address. If no one answers the door,


the individual assumes no one is home and communicates that to a waiting accomplice.


They


may break into the home right then, or wait a few days. An- other accomplice may stake out the residence for a short time, to confirm that it is in fact routinely empty during specific hours of the day. Orange police caution neigh-


bors to be vigilant, to report un- familiar vehicles or visitors, and to take pictures of license plates, if possible.
