Caregiver Suspected of Theft & Elder Abuse
12/31/2008
SAN DIEGO - A caregiver is suspected of stealing thousands of dollars from an elderly victim.
"Raymond George Wilkins stole $13,000 in cash and Krugerrand gold coins from a 92-year-old victim," according to San Diego County Crime Stoppers.
Investigators think the theft happened in the first half of October. The 34-year-old Wilkins "was living with the victim and acting as a temporary caregiver at the time of the theft," according to police.
They say Wilkins is an avid surfer who is known to hang out in Pacific Beach. But investigators also say they think Wilkins purchased a one-way ticket to Oahu, Hawaii.
