Suspect accused of stealing from nursing home resident

A personal support worker from St. Catharines has been accused of stealing from a nursing home resident.

Last month, police received a complaint from the family of a man living at Niagara Ina Grafton Gage Village, after money went missing from his room.

Police say a security camera was installed, and evidence pointing to his personal support worker was found.

Kathleen Erin Little of St. Catharines has been charged with four counts of theft under $5,000.

She's due in court next month.

Police believe there could be more victims, and anyone else in her care is asked to report any suspicious activity.
