The Gloucester County man was indicted on theft and forgery charges last week.
WOODBURY -- A Gloucester County man has been indicted on charges he stole more than $75,000 from his grandmother.
Victor F. Anderson, 28, of Mullica Hill, allegedly told his grandmother she was out of money and needed to cash in certificates of deposit to pay her household bills and property taxes, according to the complaint signed against him.
He also forged his grandmother's name on checks and cashed them at M&T Bank.
Authorities alleged he cashed the checks and certificates of deposit and used that money to buy heroin.
