An assisted living facility caregiver in Ohio is accused of making unauthorized ATM withdrawals from a blind elderly resident’s bank account.
The 86-year-old victim resided at The Inn in Joshua Tree senior living campus in North Olmsted, reports Local 12.
Westlake police launched the probe after the victim’s sister noticed the suspicious activity and contacted authorities.
Bank records showed five separate $500 withdrawals at a Citizens Bank branch in Westlake.
Surveillance footage from the bank captured the same individual making the transactions while wearing a mask and sometimes medical scrubs.
Facility management helped identify the suspect as a night-shift nursing aide who cared for the resident.
Police noted the victim often left her purse accessible in her room.
The aide was fired from her position and arrested on charges of felony theft and misuse of a credit card.
Authorities say a conviction could carry enhanced penalties due to the victim’s age and disability.
