A woman suspected of forging checks stolen from another woman's purse to make purchases at metro stores is the target of an investigation by the Douglas County Sheriff's Department.

The victim said her purse was stolen from her vehicle while she was pumping gas at 204th and Veterans Drive, just north of West Dodge in Omaha.

Investigators were able to retrieve images of a woman using the victim's checks at the 43rd and Ames Walgreen’s store and at the Bellevue Wal-Mart.

The woman was wearing a blue coat at one store and a red and white jacket at the other store. She has a tattoo on her right wrist and it appeared she was driving an older model Honda Accord or Civic.

A second woman was with the suspected forger at one of the stores. Her image is included.

If you know either woman’s identity, call the Douglas County Sheriff’s tip line at 444-6000.
