Former home-care aide charged in multimillion-dollar jewelry heist from JP home

Cory Kisakye, 27, was arrested in Miami and charged with unarmed burglary, breaking into a depository, and larceny from a building. The charges relate to a Nov. 19, 2025 break-in at a gated home on Allandale Road in Jamaica Plain. Investigators said suspects entered through a rear basement entrance and stole fine jewelry from a locked safe. The items included diamond rings, luxury watches, gold bracelets, pearl necklaces, and designer products from brands such as Tiffany & Co., Piaget, Chopard, and De Grisogono. Police estimated individual values from $1,000 to $850,000 and total loss in the millions. Victims reported Kisakye previously worked for them and had knowledge of the property, including the safe combination. Investigators recovered a matching fingerprint and GPS data placing him near the home, and alleged he sold a stolen bracelet in Miami shortly afterward.

"Cory Kisakye, 27, was arrested Tuesday in Miami and charged with unarmed burglary, breaking into a depository, and larceny from a building, according to a statement from the Boston Police Department. The charges stem from a Nov. 19, 2025, break-in at a home within a gated community on Allandale Road. Investigators said the suspects accessed the residence through the rear basement entrance before stealing a collection of fine jewelry stored in a locked safe."

"Police reported the stolen items to be diamond rings, luxury watches, gold bracelets, pearl necklaces, and designer products from brands such as Tiffany and Co., Piaget, Chopard, and De Grisogono. "Known values for individual items ranged from $1,000 to $850,000, with the total loss estimated to be in the millions," police said in the statement."

"The victims told police that Kisayke had previously worked for them as a home-care assistant and had "detailed knowledge of the property," including the safe combination. Investigators ultimately recovered a fingerprint at the scene that matched Kisakye's and obtained GPS data placing him near the home around the time of the burglary, as well as a month prior on a "suspected reconnaissance visit," police said."

"Within days of the break-in, records show Kisayke traveled to Miami, where police allege he sold a stolen gold bracelet for $11,000. Detectives also identified what they described as a pattern of pawn transactions and a significant increase in his cash activity in the weeks following the theft, according to the police statement."
