Glushko falls prey to burglars twice in 3-week period
Burglars struck at two houses of Glushko’s Academy of Performing Arts instructor Anna Glushko in San Antonio and in Susupe in a three-week period.
In an interview yesterday, Glushko said she and her husband are offering $500 cash to anyone who can give information that will lead to arrest of the suspects in both cases.
As of yesterday, the Department of Public Safety had yet to release information to the media about the two incidents.
Glushko said she’s so scared and feels that she is not safe anymore on Saipan.
“I now want to get out of Saipan. I don’t want to live here anymore. I feel I’m not safe here anymore,” said the ballerina instructor who has called the island her home since arriving in December 1999.
She said she and her husband reported the two incidents to the police, but until now no one was arrested.
Glushko said the first incident really scared her when she was awakened by noise in her house in Susupe last March 25.
She said at first she thought it was their house worker who comes regularly, but when she checked the noise, she saw a masked man in their living room.
The suspect ran away together with another man, who was waiting outside the house. The two suspects fled aboard a motorcycle.
Glushko said her husband was sleeping at that time.
Glushko said the suspects stole her purse, cellphone, laptop, cash, jewelry, and other items, all valued at $5,000.
She said her jewelry is very sentimental to her because they belong to her father, who already passed away.
Glushko said that on Wednesday one of their employees discovered that burglars also stole items from one of their two houses in San Antonio that are undergoing renovation.
She said they believe that the burglars broke into the house last weekend or early this week.
She said the burglars removed the front door of the house.
Among the items stolen was a brand new stainless steel Samsung 30.39 cubic feet four-door flex French door refrigerator worth $3,000.
Glushko said they purchased the refrigerator from Guam and that it is still wrapped in plastic and has never been used.
“Please help us catch these burglars and put them in jail,” she appealed to the public.
