One of two female open-house bandits is set for a court appearance today that could send her across the river to answer theft charges in New Jersey, her lawyer said yesterday.
Jennifer Jones – who reportedly admitted to looting jewelry, handbags and other items from high-end apartments in Manhattan with her partner as real-estate agents showed them properties – has already been charged with grand larceny for the New York heists.
Prosecutors say Jones and pal Jessica Joyner also stole items in recent weeks while visiting pricey homes for sale in New Jersey.
They were busted after a doorman at one of the Manhattan buildings that was burglarized got a glimpse of a license plate of a car the two were riding in.
Despite claims that the duo confessed, the suspects have entered not-guilty pleas, said their lawyer, Marc Agnifilo.
Joyner was released from the Bergen County Jail in New Jersey on Saturday after she was transferred there from New York.
