Minneapolis - St. Paul Police have a warning about thieves who they say stole from the dead.
Investigators say Jeffrey Lanceman and John Contreras used newspaper obituaries to target homes of people who'd just died, breaking into their homes during their funeral.
Authorities say it happened in Ramsey, St. Paul, and possibly Edina.
WCCO-TV talked to the neighbor of a victim who sees this crime as a personal attack. Never did she imagine the nightmare that was happening in her deceased neighbor's home while the family was away at the funeral.
"What we learned now [The robbers] probably had a sheet or towel hung so you couldn't see what was going on," said the neighbor, who only gave her first name, Colleen.
