Vancouver Police say it appears Asian families have been the target of a recent rash of break-ins in the southwest area of the city.
Between Jan. 27 and Feb. 17, more than 17 houses have been targeted. Police say the thieves usually gain entrance by either smashing a window or prying open the back door and while no one has been home during the break-ins, the suspects make off with large amounts of money, jewellery and designer handbags.
No arrests have been made but the VPD property crime unit has been investigating.
Police are asking the public to report suspicious people and vehicles immediately by calling 9-1-1 and to take note of details such as vehicle descriptions and licence plates.
