Police in Portland are urging residents to be on the lookout for a group of men they say are targeting members of the city’s Asian community.

Police say a small group of Hispanic males appear to be targeting and burglarizing the homes of Asian families in Portland. They say contact is often made a day or two prior to the crime, with perpetrators posing as food delivery drivers to get a look inside the homes.

Investigators say the group seems to be targeting small business owners.

Anyone with information about the burglaries is being asked to contact Portland police.
