Nassau County police say an East Islip man is facing multiple charges for stealing thousands in an "elderly scam".

They say Kenneth McConnell was paid by a woman in Woodmere for household work that was never performed. McConnell is also accused of taking jewelry from her home, selling it at a local pawn shop, and depositing fraudulent checks into his personal bank without her knowledge.

Detectives say approximately $420,000 in total was stolen.
