A Mesa man contracting with Fannie Mae to clean foreclosed homes admitted to police that he sold appliances within the victim’s homes on Craigslist.

Jamie Pantastico searched the Fannie Mae Web site for foreclosed homes and gained access to a home through a key lock box, according to Det. Frank Mendoza of Chandler police. Pantastico, 39, would then take photographs of home appliances to later post them for sale on Craigslist.

Potential buyers would come to the foreclosed home to view the appliance while Pantastico posed as the homeowner, Mendoza said.

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office arrested Pantastico in September and an investigation was passed on to the Chandler Police Department. Investigators found that Pantastico sold numerous items in the Chandler area, Mendoza said.

Mendoza said the Chandler Police are looking for victims in Chandler and other parts of the Valley.
