Blair Co., PA (WJAC) — Police say an Altoona man has been charged with stealing an estimated $2 million from a former relative.
Police say last February, 29-year-old Andrew Booker reported that a safe containing the money was stolen from his 21st Avenue home during a burglary.
Police determined that Booker staged the burglary and had spent more than one-hundred-forty-thousand dollars of the cash from May until August.
Authorities note that much of the remainder of the money has yet to be recovered.
Booker has been charged with felonies for theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property and conspiracy.
He is being housed in the Cambria County Prison.
