A Brooklyn woman is being held on $20,000 bail for a series of robberies at Manhattan hospitals. According to the Post, police say Melissa Fonseca went to "Lenox Hospital three times, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center twice and New York Hospital once. Dressed in street clothes, the Brooklyn woman would allegedly wait until the patients left their rooms and then pounce -- grabbing their wallets and purses. She used the patients' credit cards to make more than 60 purchases at such stores as Victoria's Secret, the Gap, Banana Republic and Sephora." Fonesca has previously been arrested for stealing credits cards and a wallet from a downtown office and a credit card from Beth Israel.
