A North Platte woman has been charged with a felony after she allegedly stole insurance money from an elderly woman.

At around 3:00 pm on July 25, an Investigator with the North Platte Police Department spoke with a 70-year-old female victim regarding a suspected forgery.

The victim alleged that the suspect, 31-year-old Cassandra Lubash, was hired as a caregiver.  She stated that Lubash had, without her knowledge or permission, cashed an insurance reimbursement check and stole the money.

Following further investigation, the Investigator determined there was probable cause to arrest Lubash and charge her with 2nd Degree Forgery, a felony.

Lubash was processed and released from the Lincoln County Detention Center.
