York Regional Police arrested a 36-year-old woman on March 10, 2026, following reports of stolen jewellery and cash from a home in Aurora, Ontario. The investigation began after a family noticed valuables went missing while they had a nanny employed at their residence throughout 2025.
According to the York Regional Police, officers were first called to the residence on February 22, 2026. The homeowners told investigators that several pieces of jewellery and a large amount of Canadian cash were taken while the woman was working for them.
Jessie Goulet, a resident of Whitchurch-Stouffville, is now facing three counts of theft over $5,000 and three counts of possession of property obtained by crime. The arrest followed an investigation by the local criminal investigations bureau into the reports of missing property.
Investigators believe there may be more victims in the community who hired the woman for domestic work and experienced similar losses. They have released a photo of the accused to help identify other families who might have information that could help the case.
Police are encouraging anyone who may have been affected or who has more details to come forward and speak with officers. They also suggest that residents use caution when hiring private help for their homes and perform thorough background checks to help keep their property safe.
