MIAMI (WSVN) – A Miami woman was arrested Tuesday after investigators said she helped her juvenile son steal a purse and other belongings from an employee-only area of a jewelry store in the Miami Design District.<\/p>\n
Linda Maria Palacio, 41, faces charges of burglary of an occupied structure, grand theft and contributing to the delinquency of a child, according to a City of Miami Police arrest affidavit.<\/p>\n
Police said the theft occurred June 11 at Cadar Jewelry, located at 166 NE 39th St. <\/p>\n
The victim, an employee at the business, reported leaving her purse containing personal belongings, identification and financial cards in a restricted employee-only area while the store was under construction and closed to the public. <\/p>\n
When she returned, the purse was missing.<\/p>\n
Investigators reviewed surveillance video that allegedly showed Palacio and her juvenile son entering the restricted area through a rear entrance without authorization. <\/p>\n
Detectives said the pair went directly to the area where employees stored personal belongings, and video showed Palacio searching through the victim\u2019s purse and holding open a backpack while the juvenile placed the stolen items inside.<\/p>\n
According to the affidavit, detectives determined Palacio actively participated in the theft and encouraged her son\u2019s involvement in the crime rather than supervising him. <\/p>\n
During a post-Miranda interview, Palacio admitted being present but denied knowing her son was stealing the victim\u2019s property, investigators said.<\/p>\n
A judge found probable cause and set a $500 bond on the charge of contributing to the delinquency of a child.<\/p>\n
