The thieves fitted GPS trackers to the families’ cars and placed hidden video cameras in the yards or inside their targeted properties. Using Wi-Fi jammers, they disabled the security systems in the victims’ homes. Ryan said the suspects targeted the victims “based on their race and ethnicity and the apparent belief that they may be more likely to have valuable heirlooms, jewelry, gold and cash in their homes as part of their heritage and culture.” The suspects are part of a group targeting homes in Massachusetts and the East Coast, Ryan said. He said they were tracked by investigators, who analyzed cell phone data and license plates of “suspicious vehicles” seen in the area of ​​the break-ins.CBS reported that a similar pattern of targeted robberies in Massachusetts was also reported in 2023, where thieves knew when owners would be gone and stole their jewelry.
