York County Sheriff’s Identify Two Suspects in Check Kiting Scheme, One is Now in Custody
The Maine Wire
Two suspects in a fraudulent check cashing scheme that targeted a bank in Waterboro and other banks in the area were identified by the York County Sheriff’s Office on Monday.
The York County Sheriff’s Office say they were called to Partners Bank in Waterboro in January for a report of two males attempting to cash forged checks from a business in New Hampshire.
By the time deputies arrived at the bank, the suspects had already left after cashing one forged check in the amount of $1,800.
Upon further investigation, law enforcement learned that the two male suspects had visited several other banks in the area, attempting to cash fraudulent checks.
Based on what is currently known, the two suspects were successfully able to cash $11,063 from forged checks, the Sheriff’s Office says.
