Kumarie Nazir, nurse's aide at The Bristal Assisted Living in Bethpage, accused of stealing jewelry from residents

A nurse's aide at a Bethpage assisted living facility was arrested after she allegedly stole more than $1,000 worth of jewelry from residents, according to Nassau police.

Police said Kumarie Nazir, 55, of Hempstead, stole multiple jewelry items from her patients at The Bristal Assisted Living on four separate occasions in October.

A press release announcing Nazir’s arrest did not specify what the pieces were. It said the thefts occurred on Oct. 8, Oct. 20, Oct. 21 and Oct. 23.

Nazir was arrested just after midnight Saturday after a police investigation, officials said.

She is facing three counts of third-degree grand larceny, one count of fourth-degree grand larceny and four counts of first-degree endangering the welfare of an incompetent physically disabled person, according to police.

State health records show there are 163 beds at the Bethpage facility, which offers independent and assisted living and memory care, according to its website.

Officials at the assisted living facility, speaking through a public relations firm Saturday, said police were "immediately notified" on Oct. 9, after the first alleged theft.

"The safety of our residents is paramount," chief operating officer Amy Silva-Magalhaes said in a statement. "We are outraged that any employee would violate the trust that our residents and their families place in us.”

Through a spokesperson, Silva-Magalhaes said Nazir was placed on administrative leave on Oct. 24 and has since been terminated.

Nazir pleaded not guilty to all charges at an arraignment Saturday before Judge Charles McQuair in Hempstead, court records show. She was released from custody with "non-monetary" bail conditions, according to court records.

Nazir is represented by the Legal Aid Society of Nassau County. Her attorney could not be reached Saturday for comment.
