What do you mean by "ripped off"? If you broke all cables connecting the top to the bottom then you will need to replace the screen/digitizer and the front facing camera and sensor cable. the guides in ifixit will walk you through it pretty easily.

I'm guessing that since its an iPhone 5, he lifted the screen all the way out before disconnecting the cables.

Did the cables tear or just come unplugged?
