Hidden cameras lurking in your garden might be watching your every move, officials say

Law enforcement agencies across the country are noting an alarming crime trend of hidden cameras being placed in residents' lawns and gardens.

Officials believe the hidden cameras are strategically placed by burglary suspects to give them insight into when a target home might be unoccupied. 

On May 24, the NYPD received a report of unlawful surveillance just past midnight. The caller reported finding a cellphone, cellphone charger and cable buried in his front yard, according to a spokesperson.
