Henrico County police are searching for a woman they say stole from a man while he was serving with the military in Iraq.

Lorraine Denise Drumgole, 45, is wanted on warrants charging her with several fraud-related crimes, including grand larceny, forgery, credit card fraud and credit card theft, Lt. Doug Perry said.

The victims are a Dumfries police officer and his girlfriend, both of whom live in Henrico, Perry said.

According to Perry, the reservist was checking his bank accounts while overseas and noticed a check that could not be accounted for, prompting an investigation that led to the discovery that a friend of his girlfriend's had stolen two checks while visiting their residence. The checks were subsequently cashed for $500 at the SunTrust at 1601 Willow Lawn Drive.

Perry said the girlfriend later learned that one of her credit cards was stolen and used twice at the WaWa at 500 S. Airport Drive, paying for items totaling $17.52 and $211.90.

Perry said police have spoken with Drumgole's mother and are uncertain where the suspect may be living.

Anyone with information can call Henrico police at (804) 501-5000.
