In many cases, authorities say the burglars somehow got in through the alleyways and then shut off the Wi-Fi or alarms of the homes during each of the crimes.

Detectives are currently investigating whether the crimes are connected.

Detectives advise Victoria Park residents to leave lights on or set timers if they plan to be away from their homes.

Anyone with information on these burglaries is urged to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
