A man known as the “snake burglar” was rearrested after victimizing several businesses in Riverside, California, following a brief stint in jail. Christopher Michael Jackson is said to have committed over 70 commercial burglaries since July 2021.
Jackson’s modus operandi involves removing a windowpane to enter a building and crawling along the floor to avoid motion-activated alarm systems before stealing money from a safe.
Despite being ordered to serve six sentences of 16 months, he spent less than 10 days behind bars due to jail overcrowding. Riverside police are urging local businesses to take caution and have charged Jackson with additional narcotics violations.
