New trend in home burglary in La Cañada Flintridge
The City of La Cañada Flintridge has recently reported an increase in home burglaries, and criminals are using Wifi jammers to bypass home security systems. These high-tech thieves use wifi jamming devices to disable wireless cameras, alarm systems and door sensors, making it so that even if a burglary occurs, the alarm will not be triggered. City officials and police have found that this new criminal method is becoming a trend, increasing the threat to community safety.
City response
In response to this threat, the City of La Cañada Flintridge is working with the Crescenta Valley Police Department and Los Angeles County to increase law enforcement patrols. Arabo Parsejian of the City's Administrative Services Department said the city has begun taking targeted measures to stop these thieves who rely on wireless technology. Recently, police found a wifi jamming device in an attempted burglary, confirming the existence of this trend.
Tips to improve home security
In addition to increasing patrols and conducting undercover work, the city plans to purchase Flock Safety cameras, which can read license plates and mark suspicious vehicles. At the same time, officials recommend that residents update the firmware of all firewalls and home security devices and install glass detectors that can send alarms. These measures are intended to improve the effectiveness of home security systems and prevent the impact of wifi jamming signal devices.
Safety tips during the summer vacation
As the summer vacation approaches, the city government encourages residents to sign up for the "vacation check" service and communicate their travel plans with trusted neighbors. Parsejian reminded residents to maintain good neighborly relations and inform neighbors of their plans to leave the city in a timely manner to enhance home safety.
Through these comprehensive measures, the city of La Canada Flintridge hopes to effectively curb high-tech burglary crimes and protect the property safety of residents.
