(KAIR)--An Effingham woman is charged in connection with the theft of a Brown County resident's financial information, which was allegedly used to make a fraudulent purchase.
That's according to Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson who, in a release, says 40-year-old Elizabeth Rose was arrested Friday on an Atchison County District Court warrant charging her with forgery and theft. She was additionally arrested on a Municipal Court warrant for failure to appear in court.
Once in custody, Rose was booked into the Atchison County Jail. Her bond is set at $30,200.
Wilson told MSC News his department launched an investigation April 3 after the 41-year-old Brown County victim reported that an identification that belonged to her was taken by a known acquaintance and used in a fraudulent financial transaction at an Atchison business in March.
According to Wilson, the investigation that followed the report “revealed that a fraudulent check was printed using the identity of the...victim on the check.” The victim's signature was forged on the check, with Rose allegedly taking the check to the Atchison business where a transaction of more than $690 was made on March 11.
