aggregated into one offense when they are the result of the

which, when put into operation, results in the taking or diversion

of money or property on a recurring basis. When all acts result

from a continuing course of conduct, they may be aggregated into one

crime. Acts forming an integral part of the first taking which

facilitate subsequent takings, or acts taken in preparation of

several takings which facilitate subsequent takings, are relevant to

determine the intent of the party to commit a continuing crime.
