During the signing she did something very smart that would prove to be a key piece of evidence! She “took a picture” of the renter’s “ID just in case.”
It ended up working and police arrested Ewelina Drozd who had several ads on social media showing off one of the houses she had for rent. Now she’s a charge of burglary of an unoccupied dwelling.
Detectives are now looking into the possibility that there could be several victims that she swindled.
