A Northwest Georgia victim lost thousands of dollars from her bank account after becoming the victim of identity theft. A Savannah woman is facing multiple felony charges after allegedly stealing $20,000 from a woman residing in Rome. Tomisha Lashan Heath, 31, is accused of illegally accessing the victim’s bank account on eleven separate occasions. According to arrest warrants and Floyd County Jail records, Heath utilized a computer or computer service to gain unauthorized entry into the victim’s account. Further investigation revealed that Heath allegedly created and altered the victim’s financial records, adding her own name to the signature card. This allowed her to access and misappropriate the funds. Heath is now charged with felony theft by taking, as well as eleven counts each of computer theft, computer trespass, and computer forgery. She is currently being held at the Floyd County Jail pending further legal proceedings. The investigation into the matter is ongoing.
