The Austin Police Department is warning residents about a rising pattern of burglaries targeting Indian and other South Asian communities, particularly during cultural events like Diwali, which falls on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 this year. ⁠
In a press release, the department emphasized that such crimes often involve the theft of valuable gold jewelry, which holds deep sentimental and cultural significance.⁠
⁠
Authorities recommend securing homes with alarms, locking all entry points and storing valuables in secure locations. Neighbors are also encouraged to collaborate in reporting suspicious activity. ⁠
