Dominican native Aliandy Figueroa, who is six months pregnant, told NBC10 Boston that different men have stolen from her property in November, December and last week, and she is increasingly worried about her family's safety.
"I worry about that, because today, it's my clothes, but maybe tomorrow or the next time, it's in my home" she said.
Her young son is sad for his sister.
