The Jewelers' Security Alliance (JSA) has received 21 reports of burglaries or attempted burglaries in Texas since the start of the year, twice as many reports as usual.

The burglaries have occurred in the Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio and Waco areas, according to a warning issued by the JSA.

In many instances, the burglars smashed a glass door to enter the store and then smashed cases, taking jewelry left in showcases overnight. Other methods have included cutting holes in the roof or removing air conditioning units to gain entry. In some instances, the burglars have cut alarm lines or destroyed alarm boxes. In only two instances did the burglars have the time, skills and tools to penetrate safes, according to the JSA.

The JSA reports that there have been arrests in connection with four of the burglaries, three of which involved teenagers arrested at the scene.
