Despite having a security company on-site to secure their townhouse that was hit by a semi-truck, the Kelowna homeowner says there have been two break-ins at the property.
Samer Shehadeh is trying to come to grips with how an already bad situation could have become so much worse.
“That’s the sad thing, as a society it’s unfortunate that people can go that low,” Shehadeh told Global News.
Shehadeh is the owner of the Kelowna townhouse that was badly damaged on April 11 when a semi-tractor-trailer unit lost control along Gordon Drive near Cameron Avenue and plowed into the structure.
The crash forced him, his wife, mother-in-law and their three young children out of their home indefinitely.
Now thieves have targeted the home not once but twice.
“It was one thing for the house to get hit by a semi-truck. It took us a month to kind of get our mind straight and now for your personal valuables to get affected … the stress, we can’t sleep, we can’t eat,” Shehadeh said.
Kelowna RCMP said that they first received a report about the break-in on Monday at 5:30 a.m.
Numerous items were stolen including electronics, jewelry, credit cards, car keys and the car itself.
