A woman twice convicted of stealing from the elderly was sentenced Tuesday to four years in jail for again taking cash, checks and credit cards from victims at two assisted living facilities in San Diego County where she briefly worked, state prosecutors said.
Nema Yasin Mohamed, 28, used her sister’s identity to get jobs at the elderly care facilities after her two previous convictions barred her from working at such sites, according to state Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office.
Prosecutors charged Mohamed last year with 31 felonies in connection with a series of thefts at La Vida Del Mar in Solana Beach and Wesley Palms Senior Living in Pacific Beach, according to a sentencing memorandum filed by the Attorney General’s Office.
Millions of Americans took out student loans to pay for their education, which means criminals have plenty of targets who are already stressed about debt.
While working at the facilities, she took IDs, credit cards, checks, and cash from victims rooms, then used the stolen funds to buy merchandise from various retail stores. The total loss was valued at around $18,000, according to Bonta s office.
According to a prosecution sentencing memorandum, Mohamed was also accused of identity theft while working at Harrah s Resort Southern California, in which unauthorized charges were discovered on guests credit cards.
She also allegedly stole money from one person while working as a Lyft driver, in which she was accused of driving an intoxicated man to his residence, then taking property, electronics, credit cards and IDs in an amount of over $10,000 from his home.
