BURLINGTON, IOWA (AP) -- A Burlington woman has been charged with forgery after police say she racked up more than $1,000 on her grandmother's credit card.
Police say 30-year-old Amanda Carruthers also is accused of writing $400 worth of checks that were stolen from her grandmother.
Police say Carruthers' grandmother contacted them last month because she suspected that Carruthers may have taken her credit card and some of her checks.
The woman told investigators that there had been questionable purchases made with the card and checks.
Police say that investigators used video surveillance from the stores and receipts to identify Carruthers as the one making the transactions.
