A resident of College Village has been accused of stealing two credit cards and charging more than $1,400 in online purchases.

Fransnosha J. Cook, 18, of 8170 Batavia-Stafford Townline Road, Batavia, is charged with grand larceny in the 4th degree and two counts of criminal possession of stolen property.

Cook was arrested yesterday at 8:45 a.m. by Investigator Kristopher Kautz.

Following arraignment in Batavia Town Court, Cook was released on his own recognizance.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. College Village is full of people who you can't trust, but then again has some of the best educated kids in the entire county. You win some and lose some.

It is sad that our young folks get into this type of thing. There are many great kids at College Village

Care-A-Van visits the college students once a month. We knock on all 95 doorm rooms, offer them a treat and prayer if needed. There are many students hurting in different ways from many things. Many do ask us for prayer.

I for one see a great ministry opportunity with the college students. They took just like other hurting people need to know that there are people that care and will help them in their time of need.

I'm just not really sure how she thought she could get away with this. Generally an online purchase is shipped to a specific address. It wouldn't be too hard to put 2 and 2 together and figure out who the culprit is.
