Tri-State business owner dealing with theft losses on top of flood damage
April 24, 2025
CINCINNATI - An East End business owner dealing with a theft from his business is now grappling with thousands of dollars in damage from floods.
When floodwaters started closing in on the Riverside Centre Antique Mall and Swampwater Grill Saturday night, owner Chris Ornella prepared the best he could.
“Get everything out of the basement, get everything out of the areas that are going to get water and pray for the best,” Ornella said.
Almost three feet of water flooded their parking lot and poured into the basement and front level of their antique mall.
“We’ve been pumping non-stop since Sunday morning to try to keep the water from getting too high in the basement,” Ornella said. “So, we’re trying to keep it out of the electric.”
The water has since receded, leaving a mess of debris and mud.
“There is a lot of cleanup in the front,” Ornella said. “Flooring, carpet, walls, electric, so on and so forth.”
The thousands of dollars worth of flood cleanup is only adding to the store’s struggles.
“Somebody ran a little sting operation here,” Ornella said.
On April 2, just before 4 p.m., thieves were caught on security video stealing from the store.
Ornella says they used their alleged service dog “Capone” as a distraction.
“They brought a dog in and had everybody looking at the dog while their accomplices ran off with the stuff,” Ornella said.
Ornella says they stole more than $2,000 worth of merchandise from one of his vendors.
“Some collectables and things like that, but they were pretty valuable,” Ornella said.
Ornella posted to Facebook, warning other businesses. The suspected thieves were caught on camera, and the owner is looking for information.
“I want my vendor to get his stuff back,” Ornella said. “You know, we’ve got cameras, we’ve got the guy’s picture, we know what he looks like, so...”
A police report has been filed, but no arrests have yet been made.
Ornella says he is hoping to have the restaurant up and running again by April 23, but you can go to their Facebook page where they post daily updates.
Cincinnati Police Detective Remley says if you have any information about the theft or pictured suspects below involved, contact him at 513-979-4428. Or Crime Stoppers at 513-352-3040, www.p3tips.com
