/*Geneva Macon*/, a 55-year-old Victorville resident, was arrested Sunday and charged with theft from the elderly.
Seventy-seven-year-old Fran Applegate, from Apple Valley, said her credit cards and change purse were taken by the suspect as she helped her put groceries in her car.
"I was standing this way, I'm holding it and I'm putting it down there and that's when -- she's bagging it, putting my purse, that's when she went inside," said Applegate.
Applegate received a phone call requesting money for the return of her cards. She called Victorville police. The report of Macon's arrest has prompted a number of elderly victims to come forward.
"At this time we now have eight," said /*Karen Hunt*/, Victorville Police Dept. "Initially we had seven, but thanks to getting the information out there we've had another come forward. And one of the previous victims also notified us that there was some information with their credit cards so we're investigating that at this time."
Geneva Macon has been moved to the /*West Valley Detention Center*/. Her bail has been set at $1 million.
