Between June and July 2025 an adult male suspect is reported to have intercepted cheques sent by three businesses via regular mail. Investigators believe the man altered the cheques, deposited them into a bank account created with fake ID and then used some of the money, along with another fake ID, to purchase a large ticket item from an additional business. In total, the businesses were defrauded of more than $50,000 in cash and goods.
The unknown male was captured more than once on different surveillance cameras, and investigators are hopeful someone may recognize him.
