As people were sleeping, robbers were creeping inside some homes onthe Northeast side. The Pima County Sheriff's Department is investigating multipleburglaries that occurred in the Sabino Canyon and Cloud areas justdays ago.
One victim was ripped off early Wednesday morning. He shows DetectivePhil Santucci, some tire tracks the suspects left behind. "Looks like they were right here; they may have backed up when theywere leaving." The victim says he left his truck unlocked, he says they got into histruck and used his garage door opener. The burglars found a weapon in one vehicle, but they never made itinside the house. The victim says he had his alarm on. The homeowner says several guns were stolen from his truck.
Det. Santucci is working the case and at least three other similarcases all occurring November 10th and November 11th. As sheriff's deputies were at one house taking the report, they got a call of another burglary that occurred. Apparently, in that case, the burglars went inside the house with the people sleeping and took the woman's purse and stole her car. "Burglars are opportunists and will look for unlocked doors, unlocked or open windows or pet doors," says Det. Santucci. This concerns neighbors, so they're taking precautions not to be victims. Marguerite Brown says, "We have a complete alarm system, we have deadbolts, we have a dog, we have cameras, and we have motion detectors." Most important she locks her doors including her car even if it's inside the garage.
