Hamilton police have released doorbell camera footage showing a woman accused of stealing a gold necklace from a senior in Flamborough, and are asking for the public’s help to identify her.

The video, recorded on Sept. 8 around 3:30 p.m., shows the suspect approaching the victim’s home and greeting her as though they were acquaintances.

Police say the woman embraced the senior with a hug and kiss, then placed a piece of fake jewellery around her neck. During the interaction, she allegedly unclasped and stole the victim’s genuine gold necklace.
