Elizabeth Moten, age 53 of Fillmore.

After a week long investigation the arrest of Elizabeth Moten, age 53 of Fillmore, was made today for forgery and grand theft from an elderly person. Investigators determined between March 2014 through August 2015 Moten had cared for an elderly couple, ages 92 and 83 years old of Santa Paula. During that time frame the suspect had written multiple false checks and made unauthorized withdrawls on the elderly couple's account. The total loss in false checks and unauthorized withdrawls is approximately $8,500. Also during investigation it was determined Moten had stolen jewelry from the elderly couple and had pawned it at a local pawn shop. The dollar amount regarding the stolen jewelry is still being investigated at this time.

Based on the investigation at this time we believe the possibility exists there may be other people who have been victimized by Moten. If you believe you have been a victim please contact Detective Walter Harper at 525-4474 x 221.

Moten was arrested for 470(a) PC - Forgery and 365(d) PC - Grand Theft from an Elderly Person. Moten was later transported to Ventura County Main Jail where her bail is set at $20,000.
