The brief states the suspects burglarized nine homes in December last year. The first two break-ins took place in Yorba Linda on Dec. 1.On Dec. 4, two more homes were burglarized in Ladera Ranch and Rancho Mission Viejo.The suspects are accused of stealing more than $240,000 in cash, firearms, jewelry and documents like passports and birth certificates.
He said Chile needs to be removed from the Electronic System for Travel Authorization visa waiver program until they find a way to address "burglary tourism."
