WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. (WFSB) – A Windsor Locks home care worker has been arrested for identity theft.

Police say they received a complaint of possible identity theft involving a 94-year-old Windsor Locks resident in April.

After a months-long investigation, the victim’s home caregiver, identified as Michelle Labowski of Granby, was arrested and charged with identity theft.

Police say Labowski obtained the victim’s personal identifying information and opened a Chase Amazon Prime Visa credit card.

Over three months, Labowski spent $9,100 charged to the victim’s account.

Labowski turned himself into the police yesterday. She was later released after posting a $25,000 bond.

She is scheduled to appear in Hartford Superior Court later this month.
