Warwick, RI – Warwick Police have charged a Cumberland woman and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with stealing about $7,000 worth of jewelry from an elderly woman she cared for who was suffering from dementia.
In the course of the investigation, detectives discovered the CNA,  Eunice Xavier, 42, of Cumberland, had sold the missing jewelry to a pawn broker, according to release from the Warwick Police Department. They also learned that Xavier had sold about 80 items to pawn brokers since 2007.

As a result of the investigation, police arrested Xavier Tuesday, Nov. 19, charging her with 2 counts of felony larceny.
