A woman in New York discovered a smartphone buried in her lawn, which police confirmed was part of a broader scheme where criminals use hidden surveillance to monitor neighborhoods. The phone, with only the camera exposed, was likely used to track the comings and goings of residents, providing burglars with information on when to strike. This alarming trend has also been reported in several other states, including California and New Jersey, where criminals are using surveillance equipment bought online. Authorities are actively investigating these incidents to thwart potential burglaries.
"The goal is to figure out the habits and patterns of the residents in these neighborhoods so burglars know when to break into their homes."
"It could be any type of camera that is digital and wireless. It could be cheap; it could be expensive."
