Brooklyn, NY – Quick work by the NYPD has resulted in the arrest of a woman who robbed the home of an elderly Jewish woman in Borough Park.

45 year old Umeda Gafurova of Kensington was arrested one day later by police. According to ABC News, she was spotted by detectives from the Brooklyn South warrants squad and was wearing the same clothing as in the surveillance video at the time of her arrest.

Gafurova was arrested and charged with burglary and criminal possession of property, which included a necklace with white stones and silverware, in the July 23rd incident. She was arrested previously in June and charged with burglary and criminal trespass.

Police said that they could not say if Gafurova knew her 90 year old victim, who was home at the time of the burglary but was not injured.
