South Windsor police have arrested a 42-year-old babysitter who is accused of stealing checks and jewelry from a family she was babysitting for.
Police started investigating in July 2014 when a resident reported that checks and jewelry had been stolen from his home.
He told police he suspected that their family babysitter, Karen Broderick, of Glastonbury, was responsible.
When police interviewed Broderick, she admitted stealing and cashing checks, but denied taking the missing jewelry, police said.
Police served an arrest warrant on Tuesday afternoon and Broderick was charged with third-degree identity theft, third-degree larceny and third-degree forgery.
She was released on $8,000 surety bond and is scheduled to appear at Manchester Superior Court on September 25.
