Youngstow woman charged with stealing from relative's bank account

BOARDMAN — A Youngstown woman faces felony forgery and identity-fraud charges after she reportedly tried to withdraw cash from a Huntington Bank account belonging to a relative.

Employees at the 3960 South Ave. location kept Chandriel Strong, 25, of Oak Street, at the scene until police arrived about 10 a.m. Monday, according to a police report. They said Strong tried to withdraw a large amount of money from her juvenile daughter’s account, which can only be accessed by Strong’s mother.

Strong reportedly tried to use her mother’s ID card as if it were her own, and then signed her mother’s name on the withdrawal slip.

Police also discovered she had in her possession two wallets containing numerous credit cards that belong to her mother.
