Detectives are working to identify and locate a group of unknown suspects involved in a recent series of residential burglaries in Poway.
According to investigators from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department’s Poway Station, at least seven home burglaries have taken place in Poway between May 8 and June 6 – most of them at homes within an area of four-square-miles.
Each time, the burglaries are similar.
Detectives say the suspects enter the homes through unlocked doors and windows. In one case, the burglars entered a home through an unlocked front door.
The suspects then target and steal prescription medications, jewelry, cash and computer equipment such as laptops, tablets and iPods.
In each case, investigators say the burglaries have occurred on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., with the highest probability between 10:30 a.m. and noon.
So far, the suspects have hit the following locations: 14000 block of Old Station Road; 14700 block of Kalapana Street; 14300 block of Carnitas Street; 16400 block of Bridlewood Road; 15200 block of Crestview Court; 12400 block of Schaler Drive; and the 13400 block of Calle Colina.
At this time, deputies have no suspects in custody and no suspect descriptions.
Investigators are asking anyone with information on this home burglary ring to call the Poway sheriff’s station at (858) 513-2800 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477. Tipsters can remain anonymous and could receive a reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest in this case.
Deputies want to remind residents to take the time to lock their windows and doors before leaving their homes every day.
