Eugene police warns residents of burglary ring targeting safes, cash, jewelry, and high-end handbags

Eugene, OR – Burglary crew operating in the Eugene area is targeting homes where valuables such as cash, jewelry, and luxury items are more likely to be stored. The group focuses on business owners and professionals, believing they may keep significant valuables at home. Investigators have linked this organized ring to approximately seven burglaries in Eugene.
The burglars have stolen safes and appear to have carefully surveilled their victims before breaking in while the homeowners are at work. Authorities urge residents to take precautions to secure their valuables and reduce the risk of being targeted.
### Prevention Tips from EPD Community Engagement Team
– Lock all windows and doors, using deadbolts where available.
– Install surveillance cameras that provide real-time alerts.
– Use timers on TVs and lights to make your home appear occupied.
– Close blinds when away and leave exterior lights on at night.
– Arrange for someone to stay at your home or check on it if you are away.
– Establish mutual aid with neighbors to watch each other’s properties.
– Avoid keeping large amounts of cash at home. Consider financial institutions for storage or safety deposit boxes for heirlooms and jewelry.
– Ensure safes are securely mounted to prevent theft.
– Report suspicious persons or vehicles in your neighborhood or near your business.
By implementing these measures, residents can help deter burglaries and protect their valuables. For further assistance or to report suspicious activity, contact local law enforcement.
