a woman has been charged with breaching her conditions for working as a caregiver after she was charged with assault against an elderly west vancouver woman last year.
rubina walji, 51, of surrey, was charged in the incident on aug. 8, 2022, after allegedly becoming drunk while working as a care aide to an 81-year-old woman, refusing to leave the woman’s apartment and assaulting her.
earlier this month, walji was arrested in langley after taking work as a care aide to a 77-year-old woman, once again allegedly becoming intoxicated and refusing to leave the home.
she was arrested for breaching a condition of her release not to engage in work as a caregiver without court permission.
“it is frustrating to see this accused continue to work with and victimize this vulnerable group,” said west vancouver police sgt. mark mclean in a news release monday. “a simple police information check can prevent offenders from working with our loved ones.”
police recommend that if you’re hiring someone to work with an elderly relative or child you should ask the prospective care aide for a police information check with a vulnerable sector check. more information on that is available at
