Nueva modalidad de robo en Santa Anita: delincuentes usan imán para ingresar a casas

A new method of burglary has been reported in the Santa Anita district: the use of magnets to open windows or doors. The incident occurred on Huacachina Street in that district of East Lima. It appears to be a criminal gang using this new method. Security camera footage shows one of the criminals attempting to open a small window in the front door. Once inside, they leave. Five minutes later, one of them returns in a mototaxi and re-enters the house with his accomplices. The men leave carrying several appliances, including a television and a sound system, as well as other valuables such as watches and jewelry. According to the homeowner's brother, they also took cash that was stored in a music box. They are urging more people to report this criminal gang. Before this robbery, the individuals were attempting to break into other properties on Huacachina Street, using a magnet to gain entry. The owner of the robbed home is asking others affected by these thieves to come forward so that an investigation can be carried out and they can be apprehended.
