Authorities said they were called about a stolen Hyundai Santa Fe at 5335 Kesslersville Road on Feb. 29. The victim, a New Jersey resident, also reported fraudulent transactions on a debit card that was left in the vehicle. 

Police used surveillance footage from the businesses where the transactions occurred to identify Penny Bellomi as a suspect, authorities said. 

A warrant for her arrest was issued in March on charges of theft, receiving stolen property, and related counts, officials said. 

Bellomi, 46, was taken into custody in Warren County, New Jersey, and turned over to Forks police last Thursday, June 13. Court records show she posted bail and has a preliminary hearing on June 26.
