Residents are worried and remain on high alert after a group of suspected burglary tourists targeted homes in the Santa Clarita Valley.
In the last week alone, at least three homes inside a gated community in Valencia were burglarized.
Neighbors believe their community is being targeted by a South American crime ring and the suspects may even be tracking their every move with drone surveillance.

Crime tourism often involves foreign nationals who visit the U.S. with the sole purpose of committing theft.
First they were illegal aliens, then migrants now they are tourists. Anyhow how’s that sanctuary city program working?
I have seen them. Nice looking family, speaks no English. Kids wearing sweaters of from different tourist attractions.
I suspect they came and got the $20k checks, had one hell of a nice vacation, then went back to their nice home in Brazil or wherever.
...”Anyhow how’s that sanctuary city program working? “
Must be working well, that’s what they keep voting for.
Is thei4 leader Gavin newsum?
This community's gate must be as porous as our border wall...
And think about the cognitive dissonance required to live in a gated community in a sanctuary city.
Elections have consequences. They voted for this $hit. Enjoy.
burglary tourists???

Such a nice name for illegal alien criminal parasites.
Great place for a set up.
Line the floor with heavy duty plastic bags, and maybe something absorbant.
Nobody needs to know.

Crime tourism?
Burglary tourist?
Frequent felons?
The corrupt U.S. government is now a travel agency for crime tourist.
I’ve read a bit about this. Don’t know if what I’ve read is accurate or not. The burglars come here legally on tourist visas. Many are from Chile. They scout out rich neighborhoods and steal nice stuff. There are lots of rich neighborhoods in SoCal, so they don’t stay in one place very long, maybe only doing a couple of robberies in each town.
After they sell their loot, they go back home. They are hard to catch because they use very sophisticated methods and techniques to rob places and they quickly move on, maybe 100 miles away.
I’ve spent a little time in Costa Rica, but you can see the same thing right across the border in Mexico. Houses in Latin America are specifically built to resist burglary. Bars on windows, broken glass or razor wire on tall walls that surround the back yard, etc. Someone coming from Latin America and looking at how our homes and yards are built must think that we are really easy pickings.
I want to feel bad. I really do. BUT, then again. I remember, diversity is our greatest strength.
“This community’s gate must be as porous as our border wall...”
The gangs likely made the guards ‘an offer they couldn’t refuse’.
“They are hard to catch because they use very sophisticated methods and techniques to rob places”
Give me access to cell phone pings, license plate readers and smart meters (power and water), and I’ll give you everyone in town that has an empty house during the day, or are on vacation.
All the gangs need are a few well-placed contacts. Someday, we might get privacy and access laws into place so we can at least find out how the gangs are getting their info on which homes to hit. One thing for sure, they’re neither casing places nor flying drones, just too labor intensive especially when there are so many EASY database options.
The ringleader could be there legally...maybe...
Do people have to sign in, show their driver’s licenses, or is there a parking tag or some such that lets the guard know to let them in?
