Police announce that 34 burglaries took place over 35 days in Irvine, which has claimed for 18 years to be the safest city of its size in the country.

Can you still claim to be one of the country's safest cities if thieves are burglarizing your residents' properties on a daily basis? That's the dilemma Irvine finds itself in lately, having endured a spate of break-ins in February and March.

Three other thefts were classified as 'unique circumstance' since the perpetrator had approved access into the residence as a guest or service provider. There were also more garage burglaries, 18, than break-ins into living spaces. Irvine Police said in its Saturday post that there were two trends among the burglaries. Thieves were vigilant about monitoring and often knocked down or disabled home security cameras.
