A woman described by the sheriff’s office as “our sticky-fingered” pet-sitter has been arrested again in Cumming on charges of stealing from the woman who hired her.
FORSYTH CO. SHERIFF’S OFFICE (FCSO) FACEBOOK POST (EDITED FOR CLARITY AND BREVITY):
“In February, our victim hired Cindy Love to stay at her home overnight and care for her pets. In early March, the victim noticed that clothing was missing from her closet as well as several steaks missing from her refrigerator. The victim contacted FCSO to report the items missing.
Unbeknownst to the victim, sheriff’s office detectives were very familiar with Ms. Love. You see, she was arrested for the same thing back in 2024, when she had several investigations in multiple jurisdictions for theft. In 2024, she stole jewelry from a victim in June and jewelry, handbags, and clothing from another victim in August. She would take the items and sell them to consignment shops. Those cases are still going through the court system.
In this year’s case, detectives gained enough evidence to secure a search warrant for her home. During the search 18 stolen items were recovered. The items were returned to the victim and Cindy Love was again arrested and charged with 2 counts of Theft by Taking.
