Niagara Regional Police (NRPS) are hoping to reunite stolen jewelry with proper owners following an arrest tied to one theft by a personal support worker from Welland, Ont.
Investigators say the 71-year-old personal support worker or PSW used her position to gain lawful entry into a client’s home and allegedly take property in the form of rings, chains and pendants.
“Detectives have successfully recovered the stolen jewelry in a local pawnshop and with assistance from the owner who provided closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage of the suspect,” an NRPS spokesperson said in a release.
The PSW is facing charges of possessing and trafficking property obtained by crime.
