Lorie FrontutoSEDONA, AZ (CBS5) -
A woman who was arrested for attempting to rob a Sedona house in May was connected to a robbery in March with the help of a neighbor.
Yavapai County sheriff's deputies investigated a home burglary in March where jewelry was stolen, but did not have a suspect.
Lorie Frontuto, 51, was arrested on suspicion of robbing a Cottonwood home in May and the sheriff's office released a statement along with her photo, a sheriff's representative said.
A man recognized the photo and believed it was the same woman whom he saw in his neighbor's driveway the night it was robbed in March.
According to the report, the witness identified Frontuto in a police lineup and provided vehicle information that matched Frontuto's car.
Detectives recovered property that they guessed Frontuto stole, and the victim of the March robbery recognized some of her jewelry, deputies said.
Frontuto was charged with additional counts of burglary, theft and criminal trespassing while still in custody Friday.
Detectives are still trying to determine if Frontuto is connected to any other robberies.
