Organized crime ‘tourists’ strike homes in America’s heartland
Msn ^

International criminals have been targeting wealthy homes on America’s coast, but now those same thieves are moving into the heartland.

Thieves from South America are making their way to the U.S., renting expensive cars to fit in with high-end neighborhoods, and then striking when homeowners are away.

It’s called “crime tourism,” a type of organized crime that has been reported on America’s coasts in recent years. But more recently, these thieves are making their way to the central U.S., catching homeowners off guard and causing headaches for law enforcement.

After speaking with neighbors in Carmel, Indiana, NewsNation’s Keleigh Beeson found many were unfamiliar with this type of crime. What’s alarming is the thieves typically strike during daylight hours or in the early evening when people are at work or out to dinner.

Yeah, but if they bring their loot south of the border they got to be real careful.

This is happening in Southern California. Criminals from Chile fly in and shoplift at high-end stores in places like Costa Mesa and then fly back to Chile.

Out in these remote areas, located in red states, the homeowners are more likely to be armed.

Won’t matter if nobody is home. These criminals rob houses even with security. Should be shot on sight.

I was in fear for my life.

I was in fear for my life.

I was in fear for my life.

I was in fear for my life.

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Say nothing else. Let your legal representative do any other talking that is done.

Isn’t this the “Castle Doctrine”?

U.S. Law. Get some coverage.

FTA...mounting cameras on your property and airtags on your vehicles to surveil your movements for months before the B&E.

Hope they try that on a home where the owner is ready for them

That has a better chance of stopping them than anything else

"I was in fear for my life"
Excellent advice.
At no time -- no time -- waver from those words or offer any type of clarification or explanation when pressed by LEOs, many of whom think they represent the DA's office.

There was an organized gang of thieves in our neck of the woods who would rob summer homes in the off season, and hit businesses at night, onowing where the money was stored somehow (one resteraunt lost over $10 grand- they never got any back either according to the owner), then they would sell the stuff they got, then go to Las Vegas to whoop it up for the wi ter and spring, then turn around and come back and do it all over again.

“Out in these remote areas, located in red states, the homeowners are more likely to be armed.”

True, but it’s easy to figure out if anyone is home, if the gangs have access to their Smart Meter (for electricity). Obviously these gangs have some kind of electronic monitoring before they hit, since it wouldn’t be very productive to case the places for days in a row.

I’ve heard it said that you should also ask to be taken to the hospital, heart racing, etc.

Not far from my position.

Oak Brook home ransacked by burglars while teen girl hides inside; 1 in custody held on $1.5M bond

...Authorities said Miller-Valencia is allegedly the getaway driver. The state’s attorney said he arrived in Miami from Chile earlier this month. Police suspect he may be part of an international crime ring.
