The victim also reportedly told police they never gave Adair permission to use either credit card.
Then investigators obtained surveillance video.
Authorities later acquired footage that allegedly showed Adair making purchases.
That surveillance footage allowed the victim to identify her.
Investigators said the footage helped identify Adair as the suspect in the alleged scheme.
Adair was arrested Friday.
She was unable to post bail.
She is currently being held at the Berks County Prison.
And she remains behind bars.
Adair is charged, not convicted.
The charges are allegations and have not been proven in court.
