• The recording device was found pointing at the single-family home, hidden under a landscaped area of the front yard.
• It was covered in camouflage tape and hidden amongst plants, the police said.
• Cops have urgently warned homeowners to survey their properties as hidden cameras linked to ‘burglary tourism’ are on the rise in crime-ravaged Southern California.
