A Bristol Township Grandmother was forced to call the cops on her granddaughter last month after noticing a ATM withdraw for over $200, cops say.
Authorities responded to the grandmother’s call for help on October 18 as she advised police she thought her granddaughter, Ashley Kilgore, 21, of Levittown, stole the funds by taking her debit card, telling authorities Kilgore has a “bad heroin addiction,” court records say.

Police returned to the victimized grandmother’s home on October 23 for a second interview, authorities say. She told officers Kilgore admitted to taking her grandmother’s ATM card and taking the funds, adding that Kilgore sent her a text message saying she was “sorry.”
Police met with Kilgore on the 100 block of Aspen Lane in Bristol Township where she told officers “I know why you’re here” and admitted to stealing the ATM card and withdrawing the money at the 7-Eleven on Haines Road. Kilgore told police she wasn’t alone and that Anthony Shelepets, 21, of Levittown, was with her when she withdrew the money, according to court documents
Police took Kilgore into custody and followed up by obtaining video footage of Kilgore and Shelpets at 7-Eleven, according to police. The two were reportedly “laughing” as they stole her grandmother’s money.
