A homeowner in East Los Angeles is outraged after falling victim to a burglary while his home was being treated for termites. Jack Fornelli, a 79-year-old resident of Brookfield Street, watched in horror as a masked thief ransacked his family’s property. The burglar made off with cash, jewelry, designer handbags, and even a firearm belonging to the homeowners.
Believing that the culprit may have connections to the fumigation company, Fornelli recalls red flags during the treatment process. The fumigator specifically inquired about a safe and requested that all drawers and appliances be left open, which raised Fornelli’s suspicions.
The family has since gathered surveillance footage from neighbors and believes they may have identified the getaway car. Fornelli is convinced that this was an inside job and has filed a report with the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department.
This unfortunate incident has left the Fornelli family feeling violated and vulnerable. Their long-standing presence in the neighborhood has been marred by this senseless crime. As they work with law enforcement to seek justice, they hope that the thief will be brought to justice and their stolen belongings returned.
The historic neighborhood of East Los Angeles has been a close-knit community for decades. This sense of unity and shared history makes the burglary even more devastating for the Fornelli family. They hope that the community will come together to support them during this difficult time.
The family is urging anyone with information about the burglary to come forward and assist in the investigation. Despite the setback, they remain hopeful that justice will be served and their sense of security restored.
