Houston police have issued a warning to business owners about a group of burglars who have been breaking into establishments by crawling on the floor to evade security cameras. Known as the “crawling burglars,” these suspects have targeted multiple businesses in the area, causing significant financial losses and property damage.
The burglars’ tactics involve entering businesses after hours, staying low to avoid camera detection, and focusing on stealing cash, electronics, and other valuables. Police believe the group has been involved in a string of similar crimes across Houston, following a pattern of movement and behavior that makes it challenging to identify them.
Surveillance footage has captured several incidents of these burglars moving across floors in a low, stealthy manner, making it harder for business owners to capture clear images of the suspects.
Local authorities urge business owners to consider repositioning security cameras or adding additional surveillance measures in light of these recent break-ins.
Installing motion-sensitive alarms or placing cameras at various heights could be effective in preventing such low-to-the-ground intrusions. For more information on this developing situation and to view police advisories, visit KHOU News.
Houston police continue to investigate and are encouraging anyone with information about the suspects or recent break-ins to come forward. The community response has been strong, with local business owners joining efforts to share information and enhance security, hoping to deter further incidents by these elusive burglars.
