MONROE, Conn.—Monroe police have arrested a real estate agent accused of stealing change from a home she's trying to sell.

Police say there are complaints that she stole food and change from other homes.

Police have charged 29-year-old Holli Tapley of Derby with one count of sixth-degree larceny. Police say a 14-year-old girl allegedly spotted Tapley stealing money from a coin jar in a closet and then going through drawers in a bathroom.

Police contacted Tapley's supervisor and were told there had been other complaints about her. Other homeowners had reported finding drawers open in their homes after Tapley had been there, as well as food having been taken from kitchen cabinets.

Tapley denies taking any change, saying she makes "six figures" from her job and does not need to take someone else's change.
