A receptionist at a dentist's office in Dayton is accused of stealing from an Elderton woman in December.

State Police contend 50-year-old Janice Young of Elderton took checks and a driver's license from the victim's purse while the handbag was stored under Young's desk.

Troopers say Young used the checks and the ID to make purchases at stores in the Kittanning and Indiana areas.

The items purchased with the forged checks came to almost 550 dollars.
