Recently several homes in Newport Beach were burglarized while they were tented for fumigation. Typically in these types of burglaries (which are currently occurring throughout the region), a suspect enters a vacant, tented structure (single family home, apartment complex, or condo) and removes valuables, such as electronics and jewelry.
If your home is being fumigated:
-
Remove valuables (including jewelry, electronics, and important financial documents) from your home prior to the fumigation process.
-
Notify your immediate neighbors to be alert and to report suspicious activity immediately by calling the police department’s non-emergency number at 949-644-3717.
-
Call Newport Beach Police Department at 949-644-3717 and request extra patrol at your residence during the time your home is tented.
