Mocobizscene– A Westminster residence was breached over the weekend and thousands of dollars worth of cash and jewelry were stolen, as captured on surveillance footage.
The incident occurred around 7:30 p.m. on December 9 when the assailant entered the residence via a window on the second floor. Following the incident, the family is disturbed and hopes that the police will apprehend the suspect before he attacks again.
“At this time, we feel unsafe and uneasy in our own residence,” victim Sandy Le stated. “Upon our return, we discovered that every aspect was in a state of disarray.” Things were strewn across the ground when my mother informed me, “Oh, someone entered the house at that moment.”
A male suspect was captured on surveillance footage ransacking the residence. It was observed that he was rifle through drawers and closets in search of religious artifacts, jewelry, and thousands of dollars in currency before escaping.
“He also stole sentimental items from us, such as a necklace my grandmother gave to my mother,” Le explained.
Intruder Le accessed the residence via the window of his second-story chamber. He descended the stairs, seized an excessive quantity, and then departed via the garage door on the residence’s side.
Le reported that he was inside for approximately thirty minutes and departed three minutes prior to the arrival of her parents. The victim expressed dread of what might have transpired if they had encountered him.
Le stated, “We feel violated and paranoid.” “He entered my chamber through the window, so it’s a personal matter. Previously, I would feel at ease when I was occasionally home alone, but now, whenever I hear a disturbance, I immediately wonder, “Who is it?”
Although Westminster police have no information on the suspect, Le believes he may be the same individual who attempted to break into another residence less than two miles away on the same night, based on Ring video captured from the neighbourhood.
“The footage we viewed indicated that he visited multiple locations in a single day,” Le stated.
The suspect, according to the Ring post, had entered the residence briefly to determine whether or not anyone was inside prior to attempting to break in. Eventually departing, light could be seen from within, and a dog began to howl.
Due to the fact that the perpetrator is still at large, Le believes the likelihood of recovering the stolen items is extremely remote. She stated, however, that her family simply desires that the individual be apprehended prior to stabbing another residence.
“In all honesty, it would be fantastic if we could retrieve our belongings; however, at this juncture, we consider it a positive act of karma to ensure that no one is injured or forced to endure this ordeal.”
Le stated that a portion of the stolen funds belonged to the retirement fund of her parents. She stated that her parents had been saving money for years by working six to seven days per week and rarely taking vacations.
