Petaluma police arrested a woman who they say stole credit cards, checkbooks and other property from Santa Rosa fire evacuees in shelters and from cars parked in evacuation zones, police said.

Katie Lehnhard, 31, of Petaluma was identified as a suspect after a fire victim reported to police that fraudulent charges had been made against her bank account. A canceled check led police to the suspect, who had an arrest warrant and was on probation.
