Siblings Flee After Ripping Off Elderly Uncle

SOUTH STRABANE TWP (KDKA) ― A brother and sister are on the run after they admitted to ripping off their 91-year-old uncle.

South Strabane Township Police say Patricia Harris, 59, and Alfred Brown, 52, embezzled $100,000.

They had power of attorney.

Investigators say they spent the money at slots casinos in Atlantic City and Wheeling Island.

Harris and Brown pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges last January and were released on bond but failed to show up for their scheduled sentencing.

Their last known address was in the 300-block of Fielding Drive in Pittsburgh.

The uncle is staying at a care home in South Strabane Township.
