Nashua police Lieutenant Craig Allard said in February, a Sawyer Street resident reported someone stole checks from his vehicle.

"Detectives then discovered that Amber McGraw was responsible for stealing the checks and forging the (victim's) signature," Allard said in a statement.

McGraw used one check to pay rent and cashed two more at local banks, police said. Her bail was set at $200 pending an arraignment June 21 in Nashua District Court.
