West Yorba Linda Being Hit With Burglaries
At least twenty burglaries have taken place in the first three months of the year in the western part of Yorba Linda. One of the Placentia police officers thinks that two Placentia burglaries which took place in April might match the same method. The method employed runs something like this. The burglars target apartments and condos where the primary entrance is a sliding glass door. The criminals gain access to the outside of the sliding glass door and check to see if they can visually see anything of value just inside the door that they can quickly snatch and escape with. If they see any enticing item, they try to open the door, enter the residence, snatch the items, and escape. Please take steps to lock your doors and windows. The Brea Police have found out that some individuals returning home, lay down a purse, laptop or some other valuable item but fail to lock the door.

Placentia Police Warning
Date: Wednesday March 11, 2009
Time: e-mail received 1:19 PM
Would you please post on the site an advisement from the police department for people to lock their car/truck doors. We are experiencing thefts from vehicles in which the suspect(s) are canvassing neighborhoods looking for unlocked vehicles. Once an unlocked vehicle is located, the suspect(s) make entry into the vehicle and steal personal property. Also, an advisement (again) about leaving items in plain view in their vehicles. GPS units left displayed on the dash or windshield have been common targets as well as purses being left on the seat.
