Southbay Man Accused of Twice Burglarizing Neighbor's Home

A Redondo Beach man pleaded not guilty Friday to charges that he twice burglarized a neighbor’s home, which had been damaged in a Dec. 23 fire.

Anthony Vizzini, 34, is accused of taking the victim’s television, electronics, tools and other items during the burglaries at the home in the 200 block of Avenue C, said Redondo Beach police Sgt. Shawn Freeman.

Vizzini was arrested Wednesday after investigators served a search warrant and recovered stolen items, which were identified by and returned to the victim, the sergeant said.

Vizzini is charged with two felony counts of burglary. The criminal complaint alleges that the first burglary occurred on or about Christmas Day and the second between Dec. 30 and Jan. 4.

Vizzini is being held at the Inmate Reception Center in downtown Los Angeles in lieu of $100,000 bail. He’s due back in a Torrance courtroom Jan. 25, when a date is scheduled to be set for a hearing to determine if there is enough evidence to require him to stand trial.
