WEST VIEW, Pa. — A woman who worked for a North Hills water authority was fired after being accused of stealing from a customer.
Police told Channel 11 the woman worked in the customer service department for West View Water Authority when the theft occurred.
Last week, Ross Township police charged Gina Stiger, a customer service employee, after they said she stole credit card information from a customer who had called their payment in over the phone.
Police said Stiger used the stolen credit card information to buy more than $200 worth of online purchases from Walmart.

Channel 11 checked in with officials at WVWA to find out if any other customers might have been affected. They said they believe it was an isolated incident.
The WVWA executive director told Channel 11:
"On June 13, the West View water authority was made aware of a situation involving the alleged theft of a credit card number from one of our customers by an employee. That Employee is no longer employed at the authority as of June 13."
Police said Stiger admitted to the theft and told them she was a "compulsive shopper," a disorder she said was "triggered by depression."
Stiger was charged with access device fraud.
Police said no other customers have come forward, but they can't rule out other victims.
