Palos Verdes Estates police Thursday remained puzzled over a string of residential burglaries in the Malaga Cove area.
Unlike most such crimes, which occur during the daytime when no one is home, the burglaries began Tuesday night when one or two intruders began entering homes primarily through unlocked windows or doors, Sgt. Tom Vanderpool said. Five homes were burglarized and attempts were made at three others, he said.
About $700 in cash and a bicycle were stolen before the spree ended Wednesday morning, Vanderpool said. No suspects were in custody.
