Several cars burglarized during burial service

SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. (WSVN) -- A group of family members who came to see their loved one laid to rest were burglarized during a burial service Saturday afternoon.

The thieves smashed the windows of four vehicles parked outside of Graceland Memorial Park near Southwest 136th Street and 117th Avenue and took off with purses, check books and other personal items.

The victim is heartbroken with the loss of her loved one and said this is something more to add to her pain. "This was my mom's purse. My mom had passed. She bought me a $750 Doone and Burke purse. It had all my IDs, my driver's license and my medicine. My asthma medicine, I had just filled my prescription, and I don't think this is right. My stepdaughter lost her stuff," said Sheila Tansley.

The thieves took off before anyone noticed. "It's terrible. It makes it hard for you to come to the graveyard," said Sandra Smith.
