Overview
- Officers responded around 2:45 a.m. Thursday to San José’s east side after a homeowner reported suspicious activity and later found a hidden camera in nearby bushes.
- Investigators recovered two devices, one attached to an external power bank and another apparently connected to a Wi‑Fi unit.
- SJPD’s burglary unit opened an investigation, and no arrests have been made as the suspects remain at large.
- Authorities urge residents to look for unfamiliar devices, avoid handling suspicious items, be wary of unexpected visitors or deliveries, and report findings to police.
- Officials also cite deceptive casing tactics such as posing as landscapers or delivery drivers, ringing doorbells, and leaving packages, and they note similar warnings by Lost Hills and Placer County; tips can be sent to burglarytips@sanjoseca.gov.
