Asian families appear to be the victims of recent home burglaries, and there’s a specific reason why.

Law enforcement officials said the families own businesses such as Asian cuisine restaurants, and thieves have been watching for when they are away at work. That time is often at night.

Areas seeing a rise in burglaries of homes owned by Asian families include West Chester Twp., Montgomery, Blue Ash, Milford and Villa Hills, Ky. Suspects are taking money, jewelry, watches and other valuables, Montgomery police said.

West Chester Twp. spokesperson Barb Wilson confirmed the rise of the burglaries at homes owned by Asians and said there have been several at houses and apartments throughout the township. In an incident that happened today, Feb. 15, a home owner reported the theft of thousands of dollars from a safe and jewelry.

Anyone with information regarding recent burglaries is asked to call their local police department.
