Alleged SoCal burglary ring disguise themselves as maids looking for work
LOS ANGELES (KGO) -- Police in Southern California say members of a burglary ring are targeting homeowners by pretending to be maids.
Officers say two women are going door-to-door in some of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the Los Angeles area, posing as housekeepers looking for work.
Investigators say if no one answers the door, the women then call their male accomplices who break in.
Surveillance video inside a Bel Air home shows the men ransacking the living room in broad daylight. They stole cash, electronics, passports and even ripped a safe from the wall.
Police said if people can identify these people, they may be directly linked to other crimes.
Police say there are at least five suspects in the burglary ring. They've stolen tens-of-thousands of dollars' worth of property in just the last two weeks.
