A camera installed in a Blackfalds home after various items went missing has resulted in charges being laid against a housekeeper.
Blackfalds RCMP began an investigation on April 22 after unusual occurrences of missing items, including money, from an individual’s home.
Police advised the complainant to consider buying a camera for the home to try to catch the individual(s) responsible.
A camera was purchased, and the day that the housecleaner came, the camera was turned on.
A housekeeper was seen allegedly going through areas of the bedroom that were not to be cleaned, including the closet, night stand drawers and other smaller areas containing personal belongings.
Zoe Duval of Red Deer, who runs a private cleaning business in Red Deer, Blackfalds and area, has been charged with two counts of theft under $5,000.
Duval is due to appear in Red Deer court at the end of May.
