FRAUD / COUNTERFEIT CHECKS
Plano Police Detectives have recently discovered that
several individuals have been passing many counterfeit
checks at retail stores from Dallas, Texas to St. Louis
Missouri.
After entering the store, the suspects generally
separate and purchase multiple gift cards at different
registers using the counterfeit checks. They then
reunite before exiting the store together.
The first two suspects are responsible for a majority of
the offenses in several Dallas area stores and are
described as a black male and female accompanied by a
four year-old male child. The third suspect is
responsible for passing counterfeit checks at stores in
the St. Louis area.
Attached are the pictures of the suspects and the
vehicle they used in the commission of these crimes. The
vehicle has been identified as a pacific blue 2005-06
Saturn Ion.
If you have any information regarding the identification
of any of these individuals please call the Plano Police
Department Tip Line at 972-941-2148.
