Two people have been charged in connection with a series of burglaries at open houses throughout California–possibly stretching from Los Angeles to San Francisco–since March. The suspect operated by posing as potential buyers and distracting listing agents while stealing items from rooms, according to police reports.
Police advise home sellers to either lock up their valuables or remove them from their homes prior to showings. Also, police urge more than one real estate agent to be present at open houses to help deter burglaries.
