Dina Manzo is trying to locate a number of stolen items that were taken from her and her daughter, Lexi Ioannou, and sold at a garage sale in New Jersey on Saturday.
Over seven years after she and her now-husband, Dave Cantin, were tied up, assaulted, and robbed in their Holmdel, New Jersey, home, the 52-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey alum took to her Instagram Story with a series of posts regarding the stolen items belonging to her and Lexi, 28.
“Wayne NEW JERSEY!! If anyone shopped a garage sale yesterday 11/2 on Rose Terrace (off Valley Rd) it was most likely mine and my daughter’s items that were stolen from us. Please DM myself or [Lexi Ioannou] photos and if it’s something of sentimental value we will buy it back from you. Please share this message!” Dina wrote in her first post on November 3.
In a second post, Dina continued, “It’s come to my attention that both my daughter’s and my belongings were sold yesterday at a garage sale on Rose Terrace (off Valley Rd) in Wayne, [New Jersey].”
She then noted that the items taken from her and Lexi were sentimental and had ties to her mother.
“These included precious items that were handed down from my mother. If you or anyone you know shopped the sale, please DM myself or Lexi photos of what you purchased and if it is of sentimental value, we will happily buy them back from you,” Dina stated.
“This is such a personal violation and the hurt is unimaginable for both of us,” she added.
Although Dina confirmed she and Lexi were robbed of their precious items, she did not say when the robbery had occurred. It is unclear if the incident was related to the 2017 robbery that happened at her and Dave’s home.
As RHONJ fans may recall, Dina’s ex-husband, Tommy Manzo, was linked to the robbery and recently found guilty of hiring a mobster to assault Dave in 2015. He was sentenced to seven years in prison for the latter crime.
Dina Manzo starred on The Real Housewives of New Jersey in a full-time role for the series’ first, second, and sixth seasons.
