Caregiver for elderly man steals his money.

A woman who cares for elderly people who need assistance was arrested Thursday and charged with stealing money from a 95 year old Tavernier man.

52 year old Nancy Bevis was previously arrested on July 2nd for two similar cases involving theft from two elderly women. In this newest case, Bevis allegedly wrote unauthorized checks and altered checks to larger amounts than they were originally written for. She allegedly stole over $2,000 from the victim before the crimes were discovered by Wells Fargo Bank in Key Largo.

The bank called the victim and his daughter to notify them about their suspicions on July 18th. After checking records, the bank and the victim called the Sheriff’s Office on July 20th to document the theft.

Bevis was arrested; she was charged with four counts of grand theft and she was booked into jail.
