LANCASTER, Pa. (WHTM) -

Police say a woman stole her former coworker's identity in order to obtain a loan.

In January of 2013 a Manheim Township woman discovered that her name and information had been used without her permission to open a loan.

The subsequent investigation led to the arrest of the victim's former coworker, 38-year-old Margaret A. Dawson of Jamaica Road.

Dawson has been charged with forgery and identity theft.
