BEDFORD, N.Y.— A 19-year-old woman was charged with stealing more than $4,000 worth of property from a woman whose children she was babysitting, according to Bedford police.
A resident of Hook Road reported two rings and an iPod Touch missing from her home on July 18, police said. She called again on July 30 to tell police she believed her babysitter had taken the items, police said.
On Monday morning at the Bedford police station in Bedford Hills, the Bedford Hills woman admitted to taking the $4,000 ring and the iPod Touch worth $400, but not the second, $1,000 ring. None of the property has been recovered so far, according to police.
The woman was charged with third-degree grand larceny, a felony, and released to her mother. Court information was not immediately available.
