Hamilton police say they have arrested a woman they believe was posing as a personal support worker (PSW) to steal from seniors in the city’s east end.
Detectives say the suspect was located on Wednesday and arrested without incident.
Mary Clowana Ryan, 54, from Stoney Creek is facing five charges tied to an incident in which she allegedly took credit cards and jewelry from a senior at an apartment near Queenston Road and Nash Road North on Sept. 8.
Police say Ryan visited two different units in the building, told residents she was a PSW, then asked to use the washroom in both instances.
Investigators believe there may be more victims and are urging anyone with information to reach out to detectives at 905-540-5300.
