Westminster police are warning the public about a growing burglary trend in which small business owners are being targeted at their homes.
“It started a little bit towards the end of last year. We noticed when I was interviewing some victims. They started saying, ‘Hey I own a small business, I’m wondering if this has anything to do with it,’ and then we started putting the pieces together, and then it just evolved even further,” said Detective Adam Lanning with the Westminster Police Department.
Lanning says burglars are targeting small business owners by following them home, placing surveillance cameras at their homes, and studying their victims before finding the perfect time to burglarize their homes.
