"Burglary Tourists: The International Crime Trend Targeting Upscale Homes in the US"
Thieves stole $8 million worth of jewelry from an Orange County couple's home, part of a larger issue involving "burglary tourists" entering the US from countries with visa waivers. These sophisticated burglary rings target luxury homes, often from South America, and sell stolen goods quickly before sending the money back to their home countries. The problem extends beyond California, with arrests in various states linked to Chilean nationals on visa waivers. Prosecutors and affected families are calling for more transparency and action from the US government and the Chilean authorities to address this national issue.
