A real estate agent has been charged with stealing from listed homes he claimed he was showing to potential clients in Brampton (Ontario).

Indo-Canadian Shalinder Kapoor, 38, was seen entering a home on Pringle Avenue in Brampton April 26 and then leaving unaccompanied, according to media reports Tuesday. When the owners of the home returned, they found several pieces of jewellery missing.

“The agent was observed entering and leaving the premise unaccompanied,” the reports quoted police as saying in a statement.

Police later recovered several pieces of jewellery from a car and arrested Kapoor of Homelife Diamonds Realty.

The accused has been charged with breaking into a house and entering and stealing but was released on a promise to appear before court June 17.–IANS
