“One of our main focuses is on burglary-suppression operations, and our detectives are working these cases aggressively, coordinating with multiple agencies regarding regional crews tied to cases here in Menlo Park,” Acker insisted.
Most of the burglars have entered during dinnertime through the side of residents’ homes, using a small device that shatters a window “in seconds,” said Martha Sewald, who has lived in the neighborhood for nearly four decades.
“Valuable items such as jewelry and designer handbags have been taken within three minutes,” she told SFGate.
Only one person connected to the string of burglaries has been charged so far, according to officials.
