Enfield Woman Charged With Grand Larceny From Jay-Z's Nightclub

NEW YORK, NY — An Enfield resident was arrested Monday in New York City, one of five women accused of snatching a professional boxer's bag stuffed with $155,000 worth of cash and jewelry from rapper Jay-Z's nightclub in Manhattan, police said.

Sarah Morin, 40, of Enfield, was charged with grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property, police said.

Morin was one of five women who walked out of the 40/40 Club Sunday morning with a professional boxer's bag filled with cash and jewelry, police said.

The boxer, Jermall Charlo, was partying with friends at the club in the Flatiron District that is co-owned by Jay-Z, the New York Daily News reported.

Police said a 27-year-old man was partying inside the club, located at 6 W. 25th St., Sunday at about 3 a.m. when he began arguing and then physically fighting with someone there. While Charlo was reportedly arguing with another person at the club, five women grabbed his unattended bag filled with cash and jewelry and left with it. The bag had about $40,000 in cash and another $115,000 worth of jewelry, according to the NYPD.

Morin is the only woman to be arrested so far, police said. Patch was not immediately able to identify or locate a defense attorney for her Tuesday morning.
