The series started on Dec. 28 when detectives identified the five burglaries that they believe to be all connected. In four of the burglaries, a woman goes up to the home with flowers, knocks on the door and when nobody answers, she returns to a car waiting for her and then two men break in and steal stuff.
They steal items such as jewelry, cash and purses and mess with the home security cameras to avoid being identified.

Dec. 28, 2023, 6 p.m. at 900 hundred block of Dominion Reserve Dr., McLean
