Will County Police: The Babysitter Did It
FRANKFORT TWP. Ill. (STNG) -- Police say a woman entrusted to look after her neighbor's children watched them closely enough to rip off the parents three times in the last two months.
But new hidden cameras reportedly led to her arrest Wednesday.
"Money and bottles of liquor have been taken three times since the middle of January from a house in the 19000 block of Mallory Drive" in unincorporated Frankfort Township, Will County Sheriff's Lt. William Carlisle said.
Following the second incident, the victims purchased a surveillance system. When they came home Tuesday night and noticed cash and two bottles of liquor missing, they went to the tape.
Apparently the footage was shocking enough to warrant an immediate rerun for sheriff's deputies.
The tape reportedly shows Ginger A. Nakvosas, 44, taking money and booze. Carlisle said Nakvosas has been watching the victim's children at her own nearby home.
Investigators Vernard Reed and Nathaniel Freeman went to meet with Nakvosas on Wednesday morning. During an interview Nakvosas "made statements concerning her involvement in the burglaries," Carlisle said.
"She'd been watching the kids using their entrance codes to the house so she could get access herself," he said.
Nakvosas was booked into the county jail and is expected to face three counts of residential burglary.
