According to Suffolk County Police, between September 2019 and December 2022 Bee stole over $125,000 in jewelry from seven clients.

In some cases, she issued bad checks to cover the transactions and then kept the jewelry, police said. Other times, she allegedly swapped out real diamonds for fakes or used inferior quality diamonds but charged full price.

Bee is charged with seven counts of grand larceny, a felony, and six counts of issuing a bed check, a misdemeanor.

She was arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip on Wednesday, July 26.
