Female burglar targeted Md. retirement homes

Theresa Antoinette Adams humped down the hallway of a Carroll County retirement center, bent over her metal cane, looking for things to steal.

Residents recall seeing a heavy-set middle-aged black woman matching Adams? description the night she allegedly walked in the front door of Carroll Lutheran Village in Westminster and purloined a stack of credit cards, a few hundred dollars in cash and about $6,000 in jewelry from unlocked apartments.
