via KOTV.com: A burglary ring in Tulsa is going to extreme measures in their heists. Tulsa police are trying to solve a string of big time burglaries done by professionals that pick targets carefully, and plan the crimes to the last detail. The thieves drop down through rooftops, tunnel through walls, even crawl through ductwork to get the job done. News On 6 crime reporter Lori Fullbright reports they leave behind no fingerprints, no witnesses and no surveillance tapes.

The most recent target was a Best Buy store near I-44 and Yale. It’s a high traffic area, has alarms and surveillance, yet the burglars spent hours in the store making off with tens of thousands of dollars worth of goods. According to police the suspects cut a hole in the stores roof, rappelled down 12 feet to the ceiling of the office, cut a hole in that, defeated the alarm system, took all the surveillance tapes, then loaded up on 40 to 50 laptops, 60 inch plasma televisions and even the store safe.

Disabling alarms and taking safes are signature trademarks for these burglars, police say. On Christmas Eve 2005 the suspects robbed Letney Jewelers. Police say the thieves tunneled through the wall of an adjacent business, grabbed jewelry and the safe, which they needed a trash truck to remove.
