Lexington Police have arrested a woman they say was cashing checks stolen from an elderly woman.
Amanda L. Mulligan was already in jail on other charges, but police believe more people are involved.
Police say it all started with reports of car break-ins on Dicksonia Drive.
The woman in surveillance footage was identified as Mulligan. She was using a stolen ID from one of those cars, pretending to be someone else when she was cashing stolen checks.

“These people, they want to get an identification that somewhat looks like them so that when they go into these banks, the teller that takes a quick check of that identification, is going to believe that it’s them,” Detective Mark Thomas with the Lexington Police Department told LEX 18’s Angie Beavin.
Police are investigating how the stolen checks got into Mulligan’s hands.
Police say someone stole four checks from an elderly woman’s home. They believe the checks may have been taken by a caretaker. Not long after the checks were stolen, the elderly woman died.
“Where we have someone that is elderly, that is bad an enough. Two, she’s very unfortunately passed away, and we do want to get some justice, not just for her but for her surviving family members,” said Thomas.
Mulligan was booked in jail last week on unrelated charges and Tuesday, Police were able to charge her in connection to the stolen checks.
Now they need to know who else was involved.
Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward for information leading to an arrest.
