103-Year-Old Woman Robbed by Man Posing as Meals on Wheels Worker


Police are looking for a man who pretended to be a Meals on Wheels employee and robbed a 103-year-old woman at her Upper West Side home.

The suspect somehow got past the lobby of the woman's West 94th Street apartment building and ended up at her door, on the 14th floor.

He posed as the worker and talked his way into her apartment, according to the Daily News.
He asked to use her restroom, and then took $250, according to the News.

Her 76-year-old son, Peter Rudko, said his mother is "pretty shaken up."

An 87-year-old neighbor told the News that the victim "is very strong. And very tough."

  2. I don't know that it can, Thelma. But, I hope he receives the maximum penalties.

  3. This Meals on Wheels crook deserves the harshest sentence plus time for special circumstances.

    But I will add Meals On Wheels in many cases are scouts and headhunters looking for people who are perceived to be self neglecting themselves which is a red flag and a reason to be conserved or guardianized so eyes wide open to who comes into your loved ones residence.

    One aggressive probate attorney who has a large case load of cases in one very large metropolitan midwest area boasted about her volunteer status with local Meals On Wheels.

    Connect the dots.
