WESTMINSTER, Colo. — The Westminster Police Department is warning small business owners following a string of burglaries where the suspects followed business owners to their homes.Lucero said she first heard about the incidents on social media. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Westminster PD said small business owners were followed home from work and then their homes were burglarized while they were away.
The thieves use devices like AirTags to track the victims and cameras hidden in shrubbery to see when they’re no longer home. “They’re targeted, they’re watched. It could be up to a day, a week, a month. We’re not exactly sure how long they’re watching them. But as soon as they leave, they do their business,” said Lanning.“My most recent one, $50,000 cash was taken,” said Lanning.
