Max Gordon joins us live tonight with more details in Los Angeles.
Max?
Hey Tummy.
Well, as if a break-in wasn't violating enough, right?
Burglary crews might be using hidden cameras to stake out their victims here in Southern California.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, deputies from the San Dimas Sheriff Station were investigating a burglary last week when they discovered a camera with a battery pack connected to a portable hotspot hidden in some bushes.
Only a week earlier, a landscaper in the neighborhood found another suspicious device, a cell phone connected to a power bank wrapped in green camouflage tape with artificial plants attached to it.
Law enforcement officials say that potential burglars might use these devices to watch when people leave their homes, identify valuables, and to determine the best time to commit their crime.
Here's what one concerned neighbor had to say.
They're putting cameras in very specific areas.
That's what's scary.
You know, that they had the one right here as we were talking about and then one down the street.
So, yeah, very specific areas.
Law enforcement says to best protect your home, you should inspect your properly property regularly and stay alert for suspicious activity.
Keep trees and bushes trimmed to reduce hiding spots.
Use and regularly monitor home security cameras and keep outdoor areas well lit at night.
And then, if you find a suspicious camera or device, officials say to contact law enforcement immediately.
Don't touch the device and wait for police to collect it.
Now, unfamiliar objects in your yard or tiny lenses or reflective surfaces that might also be a tip-off that you're being monitored by an unwanted camera.
The LA County Sheriff's Office says that if you have your suspicions, you might want to do a flashlight sweep at night since camera lens reflections will be more visible then.
