Police show items allegedly stolen from seniors by health aide

RANDOLPH, Mass. — A Weymouth woman has now been charged in connection with thefts from senior homes in four communities.

Randolph Police initially charged Anne Fleurant, 36, with identity fraud, receiving a stolen credit card and improper use of a credit card.

On Wednesday, police announced charges against Fleurant in Cohasset, Quincy and Weymouth. Those include multiple counts of larceny from a building and receiving stolen property. Police also showed items they say were seized from Fleurant and are searching for their owners.

Police say some people may not be aware they are victims.

Police began investigating missing property at a senior assisted and independent living facility in Randolph on March 22, when a person reported jewelry missing an hour after Fleurant left their apartment, according to police. That person also reported a missing credit card that had been used at a liquor store and a Macy’s at South Shore Plaza in Braintree, police say.

Police say Fleurant was a home health aide and stole from residences where she was employed, as well as those where she did not work. In some cases, she posed as an employee of an insurance company or a hospice care worker to get into people’s homes, according to police.

Among the items stolen were jewelry, designer handbags, credit cards, checks, money and other valuable items. Police say many of the victims have dementia.

Police arrested Fleurant on March 29. During a search of her home and car, investigators found personal checks from three different people, which had been removed from the back of their checkbooks, a “large amount” of jewelry, work identification cards from about 12 health care agencies and designer handbags from Coach, Louis Vuitton and Guess, according to police.

Police say they also found items and receipts of purchases made with stolen credit cards.

“This was a diligent and thorough investigation by Randolph Police detectives and our law enforcement partners in nearby communities, which resulted in an arrest and the recovery of many valuable and sentimental items that were taken from peoples’ homes,” Randolph Police Chief Anthony Marag said. “We encourage anyone who believes they may be a victim or has noticed jewelry or other valuable items go missing in similar circumstances to contact the Randolph Police Department. It is clear that many of the recovered items are unique, personalized and meaningful, and we hope to be able to return the items to their rightful owners.”

Those items include:

• A charm with the name “Kim” inside
• A ceramic jewelry container with a woman holding a heart on the top that reads “love, heartfelt and true” on the inside
• A gold baby shoe pendant on a clasp engraved with “EPHRATA” on the bottom of the shoe
