Woman Accused of Using Forged Credit Card for Handbags

Police have accused a 26-year-old woman of using forged credit cards to buy $6,936 worth of handbags in a City store, adding the suspect is probably a repeat offender.

Katherine Gilmore, of 28 Glenwood Dr. in Wallkill, was arrested Monday and charged with third-degree grand larceny and second-degree forgery, both felonies. Police say Gilmore used a forged credit card to buy two Chanel handbags from Neiman Marcus on June 23. Each of the handbags is valued at $3,468.

White Plains Police Detective Lt. Eric Fischer described the incident as a "complex case" involving several different forged cards. He added that Gilmore has probably used forged credit cards at the Paulding Street store several times.
