Man charged with stealing $250K in jewelry, valuables from Emirates woman's NYC hotel room
NEW YORK, N.Y. - Authorities say a serial thief has taken about $250,000 worth of jewelry, electronics and other valuables from the luxury New York hotel room of a woman from the United Arab Emirates.
Suspect James Bennett is due back in court Nov. 21 after a procedural appearance Monday. He faces grand larceny and other charges in an Oct. 30 theft from a woman's room at The Plaza hotel and the Oct. 24 disappearance of employee paychecks from an office in another hotel.
Bennett had been due to find out Monday whether he was indicted. Defence lawyer Javier Damien says he agreed to give prosecutors more time to investigate.
A court complaint says about $35,000 worth of the items stolen from The Plaza were found in Bennett's home.
