Recognize These People, Van? Lake Elsinore Family Needs Your Help

A Lake Elsinore woman tells Patch that her neighbor took these photographs of someone burglarizing her property.

A Lake Elsinore woman is hoping someone may recognize the people seen in the attached photographs— photos she says show people caught red-handed stealing items from her home.

Marcie Cobbaert's home caught fire last June, and since then they've been working on rebuilding.  And after all the financial setbacks she's already faced, now it appears thieves have caused her more damage.  

On Friday morning, the residence— which is in the construction phase— was burglarized, she tells Patch.

Her neighbor happened to snap a few pictures of the three people as they were leaving.  In them, you can see them loading items up into a white van.

Cobbaert reached out to Patch to see if the public may be able to help identify the people or recognize the van in the photos.  She does not wish to disclose her address.

If you recognize the people or vehicle, contact the Lake Elsinore Police Department at  (951) 245-3300 or by email  at  lakeelsinorestation@riversidesheriff.org.
