Coconut Creek – Police are investigating a robbery after two men posing as
Homeowners Association workers stole from an elderly woman’s house in Coconut
Creek on Wednesday.
|
The 94-year-old woman
who chose to remain unidentified told Local 10′s Rosh Lowe
that two men who identified themselves as landscapers broke
into her home and stole thousands of dollars’ worth of
jewelry.
“So, they took thousands?” asked Local 10′s Rosh Lowe.
“When I tell you thousands I’m not bragging,” said the
woman. “I have diamonds and he took my costume jewelry.”
The woman told police that the suspects involved were one
man and one woman. |

Coconut Creek Police Officer Scotty Leamon acknowledged that he’s familiar
with these types of robberies.
“They say they are from the HOA, they come in they work in pairs,” said
Scotty Leamon. “They will take you to a back room where they can isolate
you.”
The victim said she talks to everyone around her.
“I’m very trustworthy--I talk to everyone, she said. “Look, I’m talking to
you and I don’t know you.
The woman said the thieves told her they were going to cut trees in the back
but broke into the house after isolating her in another room.
“When they left, I went into my bathroom and bedroom and everything was
strewn around, the woman said.
Despite being robbed, the woman still maintains a positive attitude.
“I can’t give up being nice to people,” she said. “This is the first time in
94 years that I was skunked otherwise I talk to everyone.”
Anyone with information on the suspects is urged to call Broward Crime
Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
