FIREFIGHTER STOLE CASH, JEWELRY FROM DEAD WOMAN

A Winnipeg firefighter has been convicted of stealing from a dead senior while he was on duty. Darren Fedyck was found guilty Wednesday of stealing nearly $1,000 and two necklaces from a woman who had died in her apartment. Court heard Fedyck and fellow firefighters were called to check on the 76-year-old’s well-being in October 2015. Co-workers got suspicious after the man volunteered to retrieve her health card. The stolen items were found when they checked his clothing. Sentencing will take place at a later date.
