CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Pa. — Lower Allen Township Police are searching for a woman who reportedly stole over $2,000 from a 97-year-old victim.
The department received a call from Bethany Village stating one of the residents had his debit card stolen and charges were made using the card.

According to the man, he checked his wallet and found that his debit card was stolen. In total, $2,233.21 had been charged to the card.
One of the fraudulent purchases was at a Little Caesar's pizza restaurant. The order was possibly made for an 'Amilia' but the manager told police he may have misspelled it. Staff at the restaurant confirmed the purchase was for $10.

Photographs of Khaled leaving Target were also obtained. Staff identified the woman in the photograph as Khaled.
Additionally, police learned that around the beginning of May, Khaled was talking about a big party for her son. The transactions on May 2 all indicated the suspect was hosting a party.
A warrant has been issued for Khaled's arrest. She has been charged with identity theft, theft by deception, and access device fraud.
