Updated: Jul 18

In recent years, burglary tourism has emerged as a serious threat to the security of affluent neighborhoods and business districts across the United States. Criminal groups from South America, such as the notorious Chilean Robbery Gangs, have targeted cities like Corona Del Mar, Newport Beach, Covina Hills, and Palos Verdes, leaving a trail of property crimes in their wake. At SGV PATROL, we have been on the front lines, helping clients combat these brazen intrusions with effective security measures.


Understanding the Threat of Burglary Tourism


Burglary tourism involves highly organized groups that travel to affluent areas specifically to commit thefts and burglaries. These criminals are adept at exploiting vulnerabilities in residential and commercial properties, often utilizing sophisticated techniques to bypass security systems and gain access to valuables. Our experience has shown that these gangs employ tactics such as covert surveillance using drones and hidden cameras, and sophisticated tools like WiFi jammers to disable security devices.

Our Approach: Effective Security Solutions


  1. Proactive Physical Security: At SGV PATROL, we believe in the power of physical presence to deter crime. Our trained security guards provide round-the-clock surveillance, patrolling neighborhoods in marked and unmarked vehicles. This visible deterrent significantly reduces the likelihood of burglaries and break-ins.

  2. Specialized Training and Vigilance: Our security guards undergo rigorous training to recognize suspicious behavior and respond swiftly to potential threats.

  3. Customized Security Assessments: Each client's property undergoes a thorough security assessment to identify vulnerabilities and develop tailored security plans. This includes evaluating access points, improving lighting, and recommending additional security measures as needed.

  4. Collaboration and Community Engagement: SGV PATROL Management actively engages with local communities and businesses to raise awareness about the threat of burglary tourism. We participate in safety meetings, sharing our expertise and offering practical solutions to enhance neighborhood security.
