The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested a worker at an elderly care home in Tàrrega accused of stealing jewelry and money from five residents during June.

The police investigation began following complaints filed by the victims. Inquiries pointed to an employee, recently hired to cover temporary absences, as the alleged perpetrator of the thefts.
After analyzing the evidence, the Mossos confirmed their suspicions and proceeded to arrest the woman, aged 23, on Monday morning. The detainee was brought before the judicial authorities on Tuesday in Cervera.
