Theft reported

CANFIELD

A township man reported a California woman stole close to $12,000 from his checking account between April and January.

The Covington Cove man told Mahoning County deputy sheriffs earlier this week he noticed 21 separate withdrawals from his checking account, made through his PayPal account. He said he doesn’t regularly use the checking account.

A PayPal representative confirmed the withdrawals were fraudulent and produced the name of the withdrawer, but would not provide the address.

The suspect could face a felony count of grand theft.
