Onn Rapeika, a Bullion Dealer who is respected in his community, had the traumatic experience of being raided by the police in January 2014. During the raid, he alleges the items went missing and demands is now suing both the town and police department.
In January of 2014 THE LAWSUIT STATES he was robbed by dirty cops and set up under false pretenses and fraudulent circumstances. HE recently sued the town, the police, and 31 officers who were involved according to the towns own tort investigation. The suit demands payment, compensation for legal bills and action taken against those officers who stolen them during the raid. The suite is primarily targeted against the 3 officers who first broke in: drumgoole, horton, and cullen followed by the police chief and another 27 or so officers yet to be revealed as part of an internal investigation conducted by the town but kept secret.

He has since launched a $8 million lawsuit against the borough, the Police Department and numerous individual police officials and officers.
