Santa Rosa police have arrested a group of Colombian nationals involved in a series of burglaries targeting Asian business owners' homes. Using high-tech surveillance tools, including hidden cameras, the group monitored their targets before committing thefts. While some suspects were arrested last month, identification of all suspects remains a challenge due to found counterfeit IDs. This crime wave has impacted several Bay Area cities, prompting local authorities to employ advanced technology, such as real-time crime centers and automated license plate readers, to aid in the investigation and capture of suspects.
This group, what they will do is identify Asian business owners and then actually burglarize their homes so we don't believe any of their businesses were targeted, it was actually their homes.
We still haven't been able to positively ID all five of these suspects, they were found with numerous counterfeit identification documents to include Mexican passports even though we believe they're from Colombia.
