PROVIDENCE, R.I.
(AP) May 10,2006

Police have arrested the man who allegedly broke into a funeral home in South Providence and stole jewelry from the corpse of an elderly woman.
Police say 42-year-old Lorth Pha of Providence entered the Bell Funeral Home through an unlocked front door. Pha saw the body of 86-year-old Mildred Miller lying in her casket in the visitation room and took her jewelry.

Pha allegedly stole a necklace, a pair of earrings and a wedding band, and an employee time clock between 9 p-m on April 27th and 5 a-m on April 28th.

Police described Pha as a street person and can collector. Pha has been charged with burglary and is scheduled to be arraigned this morning in Providence District Court.
