FR House Fire Survivors Robbed

According to CBS 12 in Providence, A Fall River family that was a victim of a house fire earlier this month, is now also a victim of theft. The few clothing items they salvaged from the fire and bought new, were getting washed at a Fall River laundromat, when they were stolen right out of the machine. The family of five has been living in hotels for the last three weeks while they wait for their multi-family home to be repaired. The mother, Jane Lewis, said they were doing their laundry at LaundroMax on Rhode Island Ave when it was stolen. The Lewis family is still recovering from the electrical fire at their home on August 7. There were no injuries from the incident, but the family has been displaced. At first, the family tried to give the man in the video the benefit of the doubt, but once their laundry wasn't returned two days later, they filed a police report. Police said no other details were available.
