Recently a man was charged with 14 property thefts (including Mt Airy & Oak Lane). Philadelphia’s District Attorney Larry Krasner calls this “a mini-epidemic” that has been happening “for quite some time.” These thieves case properties, asking neighbors for information, and create fake deeds to take over ownership of the home. They then sell the home to an unsuspecting buyer, and profit the returns. The victims may not have the financial means to fight a protracted legal battle to get back what is legally theirs – often a $10,000+ legal bill. Assistant District Attorney Kimberly Esack, with the office’s Economic Crimes unit. says “Oftentimes, the neighborhoods targeted are ones seen as up-and-coming, where gentrification is prevalent.”
