LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Many neighborhoods are still picking up the pieces of what's left from the March 31 tornado. Sadly, residents are dealing with theft as materials are left out for repairs.
One of the hardest hit areas in Little Rock was Old Forge Road near Breckenridge Village and it still looks like a war zone 2 months after the storm.
As crews take steps forward in the cleanup on Old Forge Drive, picking up the pieces from the twister, the Tebrugge family has been set back.
Tammy and Brad Tebrugge had 69 bundles of shingles stolen from their driveway in broad daylight on May 25.
They said the robbers stole over $4,350 worth of materials that were to be used in repairing their roof after a tree fell on it.
Also, they say the robbers stole three rolls of synthetic felt, three starter strip bundles, four hip and ring bundles, and two boxes of nails.
"You want people to be held accountable for people taking advantage of people in a tough situation," Brad said.
The head-shaking incident is going to set the repairs back around a month and a half from when the roof was originally planned to be finished.
