A Massachusetts woman was arrested for allegedly breaking into her mother’s home and stealing a safe containing pricey items – all while her mother’s funeral was happening elsewhere.
Warren Police said Alyce H. Davenport skipped Friday’s service for Audra Johnson, her mother, and instead broke into Johnson’s home and allegedly stole a safe filled with items worth $90,000, the Telegram and Gazette reports.
Diron Conyers, 27, is accused of helping Davenport with the home robbery.
According to authorities, Johnson’s fiance noticed something was wrong when he returned home from the funeral.

Davenport is being held on a $15,000 bond. Diron Conyers (right), who was accused of helping Davenport break into the home, is being held without bail
Thomas Baillet told police that the bedroom door frame was damaged and Johnson’s safe was missing.
Johnson’s 30-year-old daughter, who was recently kicked out of the home for using drugs, was immediately eyed as a suspect.
Family members also told police that Davenport did not attend the funeral and was not answering her phone.
The Warren Police Department notified other departments in the area to be on the lookout for Davenport, Conyers and a blue Honda Civic they were believed to be driving.
The car was found Saturday on the side of the road in Southbridge. A search of the vehicle turned up legal documents, jewelry, a money bag with $5,000 worth of coins and a bag of knives. The safe was in the trunk.
Davenport and Conyers were later arrested by Warren police at a motel in Sturbridge.

Police said jewelry, keys, cellphones, a real estate contract for Johnson’s home and a stolen checkbook were inside the room.
Cocaine residue was also discovered in the room, police said.
Davenport and Conyers appeared in court on Monday and are facing seven counts related to the alleged theft. Davenport is being held on a $15,000 bond. Conyers is being held without bail because of another warrant.
Police said Davenport is also suspected of stealing life insurance checks paid to her brother after their father died. She also ‘has a history of larceny, identity theft and forgery,’ according to the Telegram.
