In-home care worker accused of stealing over $64k from patient

Allegheny County Police have charged 37-year-old Brittany Miller of Wilkinsburg with the theft of more than $64,000 from an in-home care patient.

The Police Department’s General Investigations Unit was requested to investigate a theft report from the family of a 70-year-old woman in Pitcairn.

She was receiving in-home care when they became aware of multiple unauthorized checks issued by the victim between September 2024 and June 2025.

Miller was working as part of the victim’s in-home care provider team at the time of the theft, and the victim did not authorize any of the transactions.

Miller is facing multiple charges to include identity theft, forgery, financial exploitation of an older adult or care-dependent person, theft by unlawful taking, and receiving stolen property.
