Wi-Fi jamming to knock out cameras suspected in nine Minnesota burglaries

According to the police, this technology has been utilized in a string of nine robberies in Edina.
In Edina, Minnesota, a serial burglar is suspected of employing a Wi-Fi jammer to incapacitate connected security cameras. This method allows the burglar to carry out thefts and escape with the valuable possessions of their victims.Minnesota is not commonly thought of as a technology hub, so it should come as no surprise that incidents involving Wi-Fi jammers aiding in burglaries in the U.S. have been reported for several years. This serves as a reminder that technology is being utilized by criminals, and an increasing number are recognizing its potential -- hence, homeowners should consider taking precautions.
The Edina police have raised suspicions that nine burglaries occurring in the previous six months might have utilized Wi-Fi jammers to prevent the acquisition of incriminating video evidence by investigators. It is believed that the perpetrators have a specific way of carrying out their crimes:

  • Dwellings are situated in affluent regions.

  • The houses are carefully surveilled by burglars.

  • The burglars steer away from confrontation, opting to wait until homes are unoccupied.

  • Seizing the chance of a vacant home, the perpetrators will employ Wi-Fi jamming technology.

  • Thieves often focus on stealing high-value designer items like safes, jewelry, and other luxury goods.

A security expert, interviewed by KARE11, shared valuable information regarding the nature of jammers. The expert clarified that signal jammer do not block signals but instead create confusion among wireless devices. By overwhelming wireless traffic, these devices effectively disrupt the flow of genuine data, as informed to the source publication.
