Home burglaries are increasing in Orange County in some of the safest cities in California, police say.

Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) spokesman Ryan Anderson said the burglaries are increasing in residential areas that have nearby trails or large open spaces. OCSD suspects burglars are utilizing the trails to enter and exit neighborhoods.
