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.
