WASHINGTON, D.C. – Detectives from the Montgomery County Police Department are conducting an investigation into two incidents of check fraud committed in October at Truist Banks located in Virginia and North Carolina. The incidents involved a female suspect using fraudulent identification to cash checks.
The first incident occurred on Friday, October 6, at a Truist Bank in Hampton, Virginia. The suspect, described as a white female in her fifties or sixties, successfully cashed a check and left with an undisclosed sum of money.
