Freemansburg Woman Accused of Forging Check

A Freemansburg woman is accused of forging a check in order to steal more than $530 from a Lower Saucon Township man, police announced Thursday.

In a press release, township police said Trisha Ann Serrao, of the 100 block of Madison Street, allegedly stole a check from Odell Theadford, of the 2400 block of Applebutter Road.

After Theadford reported the check stolen, police said it was cashed by Serrao with a forged signature.

The check was cashed in the amount of $530.32, they said.

Serrao--who is charged with forgery, theft and receiving stolen property--was released on $5,000 unsecured bail after an arraignment before District Judge Joseph Barner, police said.
