Allegedly Pawned Jewelry at Arlington Heights Pawn Shop — Arlington Heights Jewelry and Loan

Cook County, IL… The Cook County Sheriff’s Police took a certified nurse assistant into custody this weekend after uncovering that she was stealing jewelry from her elderly patients for the last five years.
In January 2012, a man reported that several pieces of his wife’s jewelry were missing but his wife had been at the hospital during that time and could not speak to officers about the report. Several months past when his wife called Sheriff’s police and provided several names of caregivers who had been assigned to take care of her at their residence. Through investigative techniques, Sheriff’s police received information that one of the caregivers had been a customer of Arlington Heights Jewelry and Loan for the last four years and had pawned several items after the theft occurred at the victim’s residence.
