A woman in Florida was arrested and jailed for allegedly stealing from one of her clients while working as a house cleaner.
According to law enforcement, the case began on August 25 when a man contacted authorities to report missing items from his home in Palm Coast. The homeowner noticed that a bracelet belonging to his late wife had disappeared, along with her identification and debit cards. After checking his accounts, he reportedly discovered more than $650 in unauthorized transactions that appeared to have been made through a mobile payment app.
The man told investigators he suspected the cleaner who recently serviced his home was involved since she had worked in the bedroom where the missing items were taken. The online transactions appeared to be linked to someone with the same first name as the suspect.
