Sophisticated South American burglary ring targets Asian households in alarming ‘epidemic’: Colorado police

Several Asian American households in Colorado were burglarized in targetted attacks that law enforcement officials warned may be part of a nationwide ring tied to the “South American Theft Group.”

The “sophisticated” network of thieves has looted nearly $1 million worth of cash and luxury items from the homes of different Asian business owners in Douglas County over the past year, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said last week.A group of men in Douglas County suspected to be part of a Colorado burglary ring targeting homes of Asian business owners.Douglas County Sheriff's Office

A similar pattern of Asian American home burglaries has been tracked by cops across 15 other counties and towns in Colorado in what a local detective called an “epidemic” that’s affected several states, CBS News reported.

“This is a nationwide trend,” Westminster Police Detective Adam Lanning told the news station. “Lots of criminal entities have figured this out and have started targeting the Asian population to go into their homes and get money and jewelry out of their homes.”
