The Flathead County Sheriff's Office is looking for a woman suspected of using a stolen ATM card for $1,280 in withdrawals during February.

Detective Sgt. Pat Walsh said the card, along with a pass code, were stolen from a mailbox on Farm-to-Market Road sometime in the past few months.

It was put to use by a woman 14 times at automated teller machines in the Evergreen area between Feb. 2 and Feb. 9 for $1,280 in withdrawals. The threshold for felony theft is $1,000.

Cameras at the ATMs filmed the woman withdrawing cash alone and, on some occasions, accompanied by two young men, Walsh said. On one occasion, she had a child with her.

Anyone with information about the woman's identity is urged to call Walsh at 758-5603. Anonymous tips can be provided through the Crimestoppers program by calling 752-8477.
