Hamilton police say they are looking for help in identifying a woman they believe may be posing as a personal support worker (PSW) to steal from seniors in the city’s east end.
Investigators believe the woman may have taken credit cards and jewelry from a senior at an apartment near Queenston Road and Nash Road North on Tuesday.
The woman allegedly visited two different units in the building, told residents she was a PSW, then asked to use the washroom in both instances.
No items were taken from one of the encounters after the suspect engaged in conversation about the resident’s jewelry.
