Dina Manzo and Her Boyfriend David Cantin Beaten During Home Invasion

May 15, 2017 by tamaratattles 36 Comments

Dina Manzo and her millionaire boyfriend, David Cantin, were the victims of a brutal home invasion over the weekend, multiple sources report. The two were returning to their home in Holmdel, New Jersey Saturday night when they discovered intruders in their home.

Two masked intruders attacked Cantin with a baseball bat and repeatedly punched Manzo in the face. They were then tied up together as the robbers made off with cash and jewelry.  They were able to free themselves and were taken to the hospital with extensive facial injures. Cantin had a broken nose among other injuries. He has two children. 


A spokesperson for the couple issued the following statement, “Dina and David are obviously shaken up from the traumatic and violent home invasion and robbery. No one should ever have to go through what they did. They are grateful to law enforcement and the other emergency responders and appreciate everyone’s concern and well-wishes.”

Wow. That is just awful. I hope they catch the bastards that did this.

    Being punched in the face and beaten with a bat is actually quite normal here in NJ. It’s sort of how we say welcome home.

      Yeah, there’s parts of Dorchester, MA that are the same way. I wouldn’t think I was home if I wasn’t involved in some sort of altercation upon arrival, lol. Just kidding folks, just kidding. Dorchester is my heart.

      It’s far from normal behavior-Unless we’re talking about a troubled city like Newark, Patterson or Camden. Bummer someone from here, perpetrates another stereotype. Bad enough we have RHONJ.
      His home is in the Manalapan/Holmdel area, an upper middle class area where violent crime is very rare. My relatives lived there for over forty years. Doesn’t get more boring than Holmdel. I can imagine this was the very last thing they expected when they walked in the door after a nice day. It must have been horrific.

        Suburban home invasions are becoming a reality. It’s a horrific crime. and the thugs who commit these types of crimes should be put away for life. It’s pure terrorism. Dina and her hubby (?) are fortunate they survived the incident as that’s not always the case.

    So awful and scary. I don’t know how to get over something like that. So unexpected, could have been a gun, just horrible. I wonder if it was an inside job. (I look at everything through my true crime goggles). As a billionaire, I would assume security is a huge concern. Anxious to learn more. All that matters is they are going to be okay. Thank goodness.

    LOL jerzeyboy, last I heard this couple was living in California. I did not know they had a place in Jersey. Whoever did this likely knew exactly what they were looking for, doubtful this was random. Hope they catch them.

      The boyfriend likes to claim that he is bicoastal NYC/Malibu. In fact he lives in New Jersey.

    The assailants were waiting in the house. Obviously they either had access or security was off. IDK.

    I dont care for her but I certainly wouldn’t wish that on her or anyone else. I can only imagine the absolute mindfuck this will play on her, ones home is their safe zone and to be brutally attacked there is horrific. Really hope their injuries are not as severe as they sound and they both recover quickly.

    Wow! It’s a scary world in which we live and it doesn’t matter how much we have or how much we don’t have…this type of crime is simply deplorable. Hopefully they’ll find these guys. I’m thinking the thugs aren’t close to the victims otherwise they’d know they’d be returning. They probably noticed no one had been around and chose the wrong time to hit the place.

    A few years back I was living in a pretty quiet neighborhood. It wasn’t the best neighborhood but it wasn’t the worst, either. One night, about 10:30 PM, a couple of guys kicked in the door of a house across the way and shot the guy who rented the place. It killed him instantly. His wife and daughter were in the bedroom when it happened. Because it appeared the guy had a large quantity of weed, it seemed as though the cops weren’t really interested in getting the bad guys. The rest of us were pretty shook up. We still don’t know what or why but I know finding the killers wasn’t a priority for the cops. When I spoke to one of my cop buddy’s at the county level, he explained because of the neighborhood and the weed that was found, it was chalked up to a drug deal gone wrong. I said, “but the killers are still out there!!” and he kinda shrugged his shoulders and said sometimes folks come up with info in the future.

    Noticed Tre posted on IG of them with Audriana celebrating her first communion. Just speculating here, but bad guys might of seen this and it signals they are not home. Always wise to post after an event or vacation, etc., but not blaming Tre.

    I live in the next town over. This was not a mansion by any stretch . Houses in the development go for like $400,000. It’s right across the street from a major strip mall. Lots of skells roaming around. Easy access

      I was taken back when I saw the house. That boyfriend writes his own Wikipedia entries and they are hysterical. There is literally a warning there that says not to believe any of it. lol. Why does he need a Wikipedia entry?

        I just watched a video from the local news in that area and it shows that they were living in a townhome community. They interviewed the neighbors as well who indicated that they did know that David Canton does indeed live there at least part of the time. This is not a mansion by any stretch of the imagination. It looks like a normal sized townhome. When the news reporters called both Dina and David for a comment, they would not even admit that they live there even though that is where everything happened.

      I was curious so I googled the guy and came up with a completely different address/town then DM is showing. No huge surprise there-they get pictures, addresses wrong all the time.
      It took me about two minutes to look it up. (my son is home sick today and I’m bored. Lol )
      The home I found isn’t a townhouse and is valued on Zillow at over $1.2 million. Not my taste but it’s a really nice size.

    So awful. Where my mum lives not too far out of London there’s been a spate of these types of violent robberies. Her 72 year old neighbour was beaten so badly in march she’s still not home from the hospital. Very scary. Poor Dina and her boyfriend

    This is a horrendous story! Being beaten up like that is scary enough but in your own home? I can’t imagine how traumatic that is — now even “home” doesn’t feel like a safe place.
    I’ve never been a fan of Dina’s and I don’t know her boyfriend from Adam, but I wish them a speedy recovery for their physical and emotional injuries.
