SIMI VALLEY (CBSLA) – Authorities believe a group of burglars who broke in through the roof of a Best Buy in Simi Valley under the cover of darkness early Monday morning, making off with tens of thousands of dollars in merchandise, are likely responsible for other similar burglaries throughout Southern California.
