Surveillance video shows a masked man with a backpack broke into a Westwood senior living apartment and stole jewels and designer handbags.
When 95-year-old Diane Morton returned to her apartment one recent afternoon at the Watermark in Westwood , she noticed someone had gone through her drawers, stealing her diamond earrings and bracelets, pearls, an expensive watch and designer handbags.
When other residents spotted the suspicious man and reported him to building management, he claimed to be an air conditioning repairman. They told him to leave. That was the case at Leisure Vale Assisted Living in Glendale, where police arrested a 28-year-old employee, Jesus Leyva, in October and charged him with stealing and then using credit cards from the rooms of seven residents.“An older adult is not only going to be an easy target, but they may have things that are worth money,” said CANHR’s Maura Gibney.
“I think the security at the Watermark is totally inadequate,” said victim Diane Morton. “They’ve got to tighten the security."
