Sheriff investigates hidden camera possibly used to case Placer County home

Описание: The Placer County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents to stay alert after detectives found a hidden surveillance camera disguised in bushes outside a home in North Auburn. Investigators say the device, powered by an external battery pack, may have been used to monitor the property before a potential burglary. Authorities believe similar surveillance tactics have been used nationwide by organized South American Theft Groups, which often case homes ahead of high-dollar residential burglaries. Detectives also warn that some groups use signal jammers to disrupt Wi-Fi–based security systems. Officials say the discovery was made during a separate investigation and stress that community awareness is key to preventing crime. Residents are urged to report suspicious items and not touch anything that appears out of place.
