My tenant was robbed

One of my tenants apartment was robbed today. Someone broke the door to their unit and stole some stuff. I was told the cousin of one of my other tenants was staying in her apartment while she was out of town and that’s when the robbery happened. Now the tenant that just got robbed messaged me and said she feels unsafe, someone is making threats and she wants to break her lease and she would like her deposit to be returned. All of this happened in NY state. Can they break the lease? I paid for one night at the hotel so we can replace the door. Also we are installing a security cameras this week. Any advice?
