Both break-ins happened Friday night, less than two miles apart, and were committed by a group of people, according to Newport Beach police. In both instances, the suspects broke a second-story window in order to get into the home, and got away in an SUV.

The first break-in happened at a home in the Spyglass Hill community at about 8 p.m. As many as four people got into the home by using a ladder that had been in a side yard to climb to the window of the master bathroom on the second floor. The suspect shattered the window, and once inside, rummaged through the drawers in the master bedroom, bathroom, and closet, getting away with an unknown amount of jewelry.
