Um, so, so there's that angle to it and, uh, it's resulted in the emergence of trends within these kinds of, uh, burglaries, um, called flocking or jugging or knock knock burglaries or follow home burglaries. And basically it, it, it, uh, you know, flocking is a term that refers to, um, uh,

A knock-knock burglary is just like what it sounds like. Criminals will, you know... knock, knock on a door. If someone's home, maybe they don't proceed with the crime, but sometimes they do.
