Family photos, military documents and more mementos were taken along with the 1,000 pound safe that was kept at the family's East L.A. grocery store, which was struck in a Jan. burglary.
An East Los Angeles family is pleading for help in recovering priceless valuables that were taken from them when they were targeted in a January burglary, in which four thieves stole their 1,000 pound safe, straight out of their family-run grocery store.
He passed away in 2019, and after serving the community for so many years, his family is hoping that they will in turn give back to him and his loved ones in their search for these priceless items.La Blanquita Carniceria and Tortilleria was struck by four burglars on January 25, when they broke through the front door and headed straight up to where the family kept their 1,000 pound safe, after checking areas of the store where people may have been working late.
“They looked him in the eye as they did it,” said Enrique Rodriguez, the CEO of the grocery store, “He’s right out here in our lobby.”In order to get the massive safe down the stairs, the thieves simply rolled it, damaging the staircase and walls in the process. Once they were able to get the safe outside, the thieves loaded it into what authorities have now confirmed is an Infiniti QX80 – worth around $80,000.
He said very few people knew about the safe, and its location in their upstairs offices and that the betrayal would have left Ramirez “hurt and angry.”
