TOMS RIVER – A Brick Township woman was arrested on theft charges April 4.

Linda Cainzos, 61, was charged with two counts of theft by deception, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said.

The prosecutor’s office was asked to look into claims filed by Cainzos with California Casualty Insurance Company in October and November 2015. One $7,000 claim was for a purported water leak, and the other for an alleged burglary in which $9,000 worth of valuables were stolen.

Authorities allege Cainzos submitted fraudulent invoices and receipts to support her claims.

She was processed and is pending a future court date.
