A 78-year-old woman living in Brampton, Canada, had her gold jewelry worth around $20,000 stolen during an evening walk on July 28 near Chinguacousy Road and Bovaird Drive West. Her son, Raghavendra Kumar, recounted the incident, explaining that his mother initially mistook the thief for a neighbor due to her poor English skills.
According to Kumar, the thief gained his mother's trust by bending down to touch her feet and hugging her. Once the woman had the elderly woman's trust, she placed a fake piece of jewelry around her neck while removing her real gold necklace and bangles. The suspects then fled the scene in an SUV. The value of the stolen gold jewelry was estimated at $20,000 based on its raw metal value, but it held far greater sentimental value for the woman, as it had been a gift from her late husband when they married in 1971.
The incident has left the elderly woman deeply shaken and unable to walk for about 30 minutes after realizing what had happened. Peel Regional Police have identified the woman seen in the surveillance footage as a person of interest and are investigating the incident further.
