A woman extradited from Miami on charges of felony forgery, receiving stolen property, theft and identify theft filed by Central Bucks Regional Police waived them all at a preliminary hearing last week to Bucks County Common Pleas Court.

Gisela Rosalin Crichlow, 25, of the 10000 block of SW 172nd Street, also waived a misdemeanor charge of writing bad checks to county court as well.

Crichlow, along with defendant Andy Javar Salas-Martinez, 24, also of Miami, is accused of a scheme involving the cashing of fraudulent checks belonging to a New Britain Borough resident in October 2024.

Authorities allege Crichlow and her accomplice forged and cashed four fraudulent checks totaling $16,500 from the account of a victim of Carousel Circle. The checks were cashed in Miami and Hialeah, FL, police said.
