Police say a Providence Point security guard is responsible for last year’s rash of burglaries and thefts at the Scott Township retirement home.
Scott Township police say a Providence Point security guard was responsible for last year’s rash of burglaries and thefts at the retirement home. Steven Kowalski, 49, of Baldwin, already has been charged with two counts of burglary along with receiving stolen property and theft after police said they arrested him when he showed up for his evening shift on May 31. Investigators said they received a break in the case earlier that morning when a resident came home to find her deadbolt unlocked and a man hiding behind a chair in her apartment. Police said Kowalski put a cushion over his face and walked past the resident to leave her residence. The resident didn’t see his face, but said he had dark hair and was wearing a white shirt and black …
