The police department issued this statement on its website page, which can be accessed at www.easthavenpolice.com: “We have had several recent burglaries in town targeting Indian families, or people of Indian descent, especially those whose last names happen to be Patel.
“We have also received word from other agencies in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire that they are experiencing similar crimes in their jurisdictions.
“The suspects are typically breaking a rear window or sliding door to gain entry, and are taking expensive jewelry and cash, but have been leaving electronics undisturbed,’’ the statement from police said.
“It appears this is a crew that is targeting these victims. The suspects in these cases might be operating a white 4-door sedan bearing orange and blue New York registration plates. Please be vigilant of your property as well as you neighbor's and call us with any information you have,’’ the statement continued.
