Frederick Police Chief Rick Guill says 47-year-old Polly Bennett was posing as a licensed nurse when she was hired to provide 24-hour care for a 65-year-old disabled woman.
Chief Guill says since June, Bennett is accused of stealing items from the woman's home and giving them to her boyfriend, 42-year-old John Muzac, who would then sell them at a pawn shop.
Guill says the pair was detained for outstanding warrants on Monday, and then arrested in this case yesterday.
He says charges in this case include 139 counts of concealing stolen property, grand larceny, and criminal conspiracy.
