An Atherton home was burglarized when someone turned off the power to the home and broke into the house through a side window earlier this month, the Atherton Police Department said in a press release on Dec. 9.
The burglary happened on the 100 block of Austin Avenue between Dec. 1 and Dec. 8, police said.
Police did not say what was stolen but said the incident was under investigation.
The police department previously warned of a spree of burglaries after three burglaries were reported in the town over Thanksgiving weekend. The department said it identified several recurring issues in the break-ins, including homes left dark inside and out, side gates left unsecured, valuables stored in obvious locations and security cameras or alarms that were turned off at the time of the burglary.
“These are conditions that create opportunities that organized burglary crews look for as they scout neighborhoods,” Atherton police Chief Steve McCulley said at the time.
