Aide indicted on charges of ripping off senior

A home care aide has been indicted for allegedly defrauding an 89-year-old Voorhees woman of thousands of dollars.

A grand jury handed down a two-count indictment on Monday charging Latoya N. Williams, 31, of Pennsauken with theft by deception and fraudulent use of a credit card.

Police say Williams had been hired to provide in-home care for the Voorhees woman. As part of the arraignment, the victim’s family provided Williams with a credit card for the victim’s daily expenses.

Williams allegedly used the credit card to make fraudulent charges in excess of $6,700 between March and April 2014. These fraudulent charges included payments for a vacation time share, airfare, dental work, insurance, a car loan and cell phone bills.
