A Texas day care worker has been arrested after she was accused of stealing charm bracelets from children in her care, police said.

Virginia Vela-Torres, 45, was arrested on three theft of person charges, police said in a Dec. 8 news release.

She is accused of stealing charm bracelets from three children, a 3-year-old and two 4-year-olds.

Vela-Torres worked at a day care center on the south side of San Antonio, the release said.

One child told her mother Vela-Torres took off her bracelet and kept it, police said.

Investigators said Vela-Torres pawned two of the charm bracelets. Parents were able to identify the bracelets, San Antonio police said in the release.
