“It is upsetting that someone would allegedly steal from health care staff, especially while they are at work in a hospital,” said Sergeant Jeff Scott. “We’re working with hospital staff and security to help ensure that this is doesn’t happen again.”
Police say Minion was already in jail for “unrelated offences.” She was charged with four crimes, including fraud and break-and-enter on Monday.
Her next court appearance is set for Tuesday.
