Two healthcare workers have been arrested in Newmarket after allegedly stealing nearly $1 million from a senior citizen. York Regional Police say the suspects, Juvie Maputol (38) and Lloyd Maputol (37) of Richmond Hill, accessed the senior’s bank account to withdraw the substantial amount of money.
Lloyd, a registered nurse, and Juvie, a personal support worker, are believed to have taken advantage of their positions, with one of them being employed to care for the senior. The police suspect the duo visited several financial institutions to carry out the illegal withdrawals.
On Thursday, officers charged the pair with multiple offenses, including fraud, theft over $5,000, and laundering proceeds of crime. Authorities are concerned that the duo may have affected other victims and are urging anyone with information to come forward.
The allegations against the accused have yet to be proven in court.
