A Miami Beach Landlord is facing the heat after being caught on camera stealing from her tenants.
Valentina Zaeta, 34, was arrested Wednesday and charged with burglary and grand theft in the third degree.
Officers responded to a Miami Beach apartment in reference to a stolen laptop.
When police arrived, the victim’s roommate and fellow tenant, a witness, said they saw the suspect enter the apartment and steal the victim’s laptop and several other items.
The victim noticed several items missing, including her:
- Laptop
- Louis Vuitton bag
- Michael Kors wallet
- Luggage bag
- Credit cards
- Social security card
- $500 in cash
Surveillance video showed Zaeta and another woman entering the apartment using a key, police said.
When police arrived to obtain the surveillance video, the suspect called the victim and said she was in possession of the victim’s belongings and would return the items in exchange for cash.
Police then showed up to the suspect’s job and arrested her.
Zaeta, who is from Italy and has been in South Florida for less than a year, was being held on $17,500 bond Thursday, records showed.
