LONDON, ONT -- London police have arrested a 35-year-old London woman wanted for allegedly posing as a personal support worker (PSW) and defrauding and stealing from elderly residents in the city.

According to investigators, between June 1 and Nov. 5, Amanda Albert is reported to have posed as a cleaner or PSW to gain access to seniors' apartments.

While inside the residences, she allegedly took debit cards, credit cards and cash.

Albert has been charged with:

  • three counts of break and enter and theft
