Asian owners of restaurants and nail salons in Bellingham are being targeted by burglars at their homes.
Surveillance video shows a gang of burglars targeting them at their personal homes.KIRO 7 first reported last month that gang of thieves breaking into homes along trails all along the Interstate 5 corridor.
This even has police departments alarmed. So much so, that Bellingham police are deploying just about every tool to locate these residents and alert them.The owner of Wanida Thai Cuisine is grateful he managed to survive the worldwide pandemic that forced his and other restaurants to close for a time.
“If we knew that, we would have caught them by now,” said Lt. Murphy. “So, that is part of the investigation that has to occur to determine what it is they’re doing and how they’re going about doing it. My assumption is they do their research.” Since the crooks are after money and precious jewels, Bellingham police say there are things these owners can do to protect themselves.
