Investigators say most times the homeowners are not home. But there have been instances where the burglars pose as delivery drivers or utility workers to gain access.

Police say the suspects will use radios, disguises, lookouts, and surveillance to case out potential homes in neighborhoods.

Anyone with information on the suspects is asked to please contact the Criminal Investigations Unit at 395-8110.Consult with your homeowner's association on the installation of Automated License Plate Readers at the entrance/exit of neighborhoods. Install motion-sensor lights around the perimeter of your home, particularly near entry points. Ensure that pathways, entrances, and dark areas are well-lit to minimize hiding spots for potential burglars.

Maintain a well-maintained appearance of your home to deter potential burglars. Use timers for lights and electronic devices to create the illusion of occupancy when you're away.
