Kelleher’s charges stem from an April 2015 complaint that she had stolen $1,650 from an elderly local woman who had hired her to clean the apartment, according to Lt. Scott Custer.

Custer said family members learned that Kelleher had forged several checks made out to herself and cashed them. Officers then gathered the appropriate financial documents and later obtained an arrest warrant for Kelleher.

Kelleher was held on a $10,000 surety bond and was presented at Manchester Superior Court on Tuesday, Sept. 8.
