New Brighton police Chief Charles Van Fossan says Tuesday that police were still searching for 20-year-old China Graham, of Ellwood City. She allegedly committed the crimes at First Presbyterian Church in New Brighton on Sunday.
Police say the offering check was from a previously stolen checkbook.
Graham used a credit card from the stolen wallet to buy about $200 worth of merchandise from a dollar store and a convenience store. Police say Graham also tried to use a credit card stolen from another church to get a $16,000 cash advance that a bank refused to issue.
New Brighton is about 25 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.
