HPD Inspectors conducted multiple interviews with the victim and multiple witnesses. The case was subsequently forwarded to the DA’s Office and Juvenile Probation for review.
Theft
In March of 2026, an 80-year-old Hillsborough resident reported that she believed her house cleaner had stolen from her. She reported that between the months of October to March, she began to notice that jewelry and money were missing. The resident stated that she lived alone and that there was nobody else that would have had access to her home. HPD Inspectors began an investigation and identified the house cleaner, a Bay Area resident. Investigators learned that the house cleaner had been accused of similar thefts while cleaning houses for multiple parties throughout the Bay Area. On 4/29/26, Inspectors executed a search warrant and located some of the resident’s stolen property. The investigation is ongoing.
