Prosecutors yesterday charged a 32-year-old woman with theft and other offenses in an identity-theft case in which purchases were made on credit cards obtained under the name of the identity-theft victim.

Leticia-Mae Liwayway Pitts, 32, is accused of making purchases of $2,938 from a jewelry store and $1,490 and $5,010 from a hardware store on credit cards she allegedly established using the identity of a woman, 34. Pitts was being held on $50,000 bail.

She was charged with four counts of second-degree forgery, unauthorized possession of confidential information, second-degree theft and second-degree identity theft. Pitts has two prior convictions, according to the Criminal Justice Data Center.
