Burglar Steals from Springs Woman Fighting Breast Cancer
Thieves made off with about $2,000 that had been raised in the fight against breast cancer.
Nearly $2,000 in cash was stolen from the Springs home of a woman fighting breast cancer last week.
Chris Foran told ABC News that some of the money was for her to use towards her breast cancer treatment and some of the money had been raised for her Heaven Can Wait team that participates in the LI2Day Walk, which helps raise money for breast cancer-related initiatives, like Lucia's Room at Southampton Hospital.
Foran reported her house burglarized on May 7 — sometime between 1:15 and 5:30 p.m., according to a police report. The thieves entered through a back door. Police took fingerprints and pictures, but no arrests have been yet. In addition to cash and change, they also stole several pieces of Foran's jewelry.
There have been several other similar burglaries in the area.
For example, on May 6, between 9:15 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., someone stole 40 pills of Klonopin, $3 in loose change, and a house key, from a residence on Pembroke Drive in Springs.
