A Commack woman has confessed to stealing cash and jewelry from a tenant living in her basement apartment, Suffolk County Police announced on Tuesday.
Police arrested Christine Georghakis, 45, on Sept. 1 and charged her with second-degree burglary after she admitted to stealing from her tenant’s apartment in her 12 Johnson St. home’s basement.
