Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say they've broken up a professional burglary ring that targeted south Charlotte homes over holiday weekends and sent the stolen goods to New York and South America.

Over a two-week investigation, CMPD tied four July burglaries to a group of five men and say the operation is likely part of a larger international ring. Police say the break-ins resemble about a dozen others in south Charlotte over the past two years.

Authorities couldn't estimate the value of stolen goods, but said one home this month lost $30,000 in jewelry and other property. Police have arrested four men, and a fifth is still wanted. The men, originally from Colombia, have been living and operating in the Charlotte area since 2006, authorities believe.

CMPD detectives say the burglars knew which wires to cut to disable alarms, knew when residents weren't home and stole mostly jewelry – taking time to select the most valuable pieces.

Police found binoculars and crowbars in one suspect's car.

“What we normally see is thieves coming in from other parts of town on a whim. These guys, they spent some time,â€

Hopefully they will not be able to post bond TWICE like that scum bag in Nebraska.

We are seeing the fruits of elimination of interior enforcement and reduced border security. Wait until Obama completely opens the borders during the next amnesty. It wlll be total anarchy and chaos. You can bet LaRaza, LULAC, MALDEF and PRLDEF are screaming racial profiling on this one....

I am so glad I put in steel security screen doors. About 5:30 a.m. two years ago, one of my neighbors photographed a guy trying to pull up my garage door. Meanwhile, his partners managed to break into the local high school and steal computer equipment. They were caught.
If the cops can hang out undercover at the grocery store around the corner, I am sure they will find a lot of those they are looking for. Even in daylight hours, there are too many guys hanging out in front of the store, driving brand-new trucks and Cadillacs, and I would never dream of going there after dark when the hookers are out.
