Babysitter Accused of Stealing Checks, Jewelry from South Windsor Family

A Glastonbury woman is accused of stealing checks and jewelry from a South Windsor family she was babysitting for, according to a police press release.

South Windsor police arrested Karen Broderick, 42, of 25 School Street in Glastonbury on an arrest warrant on Tuesday. Broderick was charged with third-degree identity theft, third-degree larceny and third-degree forgery.

Police said that Broderick’s arrest stems from a July 2014 complaint from a local resident that checks and jewelry had been stolen from his home. The victim suspected that their family babysitter, Broderick, was responsible.

Officers interviewed Broderick, who admitted stealing and cashing checks, but denied taking the missing jewelry, according to the press release.

Broderick was released on $8,000 surety bond and is scheduled to appear at Manchester Superior Court on Sept. 25.
