Police are searching for a local woman who is potentially facing charges after trying to cash checks connected to an account she did not own.
In late July, a check for $175 was used by 57-year-old Suzanne Andre of Petrolia in an attempt to pay for work done at a beauty salon. When the check was declined 35-year-old Janet Greiner of Petrolia was notified as the check was connected to an account she owned.
Greiner contacted Andre who had been staying at Greiner’s mother home and told her to stop using the checks. Andre claimed there had been a mix up in check books.
A few days later checks of $600 and $8000 had been declined and returned to Greiner, the checks had been written to Andre. Andre also signed these checks.
When police interviewed Andre in early August, she again claimed it was a mistake and she hadn’t intended to steal the money. But when pressed, Andre admitted she knew the checks were not hers.
Andre current whereabouts are unknown. In total Andre had stolen over $10,000 in services, items, and checks. A warrant for her arrest has been requested and there are multiple charges pending.
