Resident Lets Homeless Woman Stay at her Home, Is Surprised when she Steals TV

Niagara Falls Police responded to the 2200 block of Whitney Avenue around 6pm on April 1st after reports of a burglary that was later changed to a larceny.

Upon arrival, officers spoke to the complainants - two residents of the home - who stated that they had been “letting a homeless woman stay during the day at [their] residence.” However, they were unsure of what the woman's name is.

On March 19th, the complainant woke up from a nap and the homeless woman was not inside the residence. The complainant then went downstairs and observed her 55 inch Samsung TV missing. Other items missing from the home were eight pocket watches.

The complainant said she does have a camera outside but couldn’t pull up the footage. The estimated value of her TV is $250 and the pocket watches are $500.

No further information is available at this time.
