COMMUNITY INFORMATION🚨: Hidden Cameras Found Near Residences
Recently, Brea residents discovered a camouflaged camera hidden in local bushes. Burglary crews typically use these devices to surveil homeowners, track daily routines, identify valuables, and determine the best time
to break in.
These cameras are usually hidden in bushes, planters, or trees, blending seamlessly into your landscaping.
How to protect your home:
📷 Install & monitor home security cameras.
🔍 Inspect your property and landscaping regularly.
✂️ Keep trees and bushes trimmed to eliminate hiding spots.
📞 If you find a suspicious device, DO NOT touch or move it. Leave it in place and contact us immediately at 714-990-7911 so officers can collect it for evidence.
