Police and township officials in Abington are voicing their concerns about a rash of home burglaries they say targeted Asian-American business owners.

The Abington Police Department said the first theft happened on July 31 when a home was burglarized in broad daylight on the 1300 block of Carol Road.No one was home at the time of the burglary, according to police. A week later, police said a resident was assaulted by two suspects during a nighttime robbery on Lee Lynn Lane. Police say the suspects stole items and fled the house.

"This is a particularly disturbing, and nation-wide crime trend where organized groups of thieves are targeting the homes of Asian American business owners due to the stereotype that Asian business owners have items of high value in their homes."Investigators believe the suspects "learn the life patterns" of their victims, including surveying their business and following them home from work to learn where they live.
