Warminster police seek man in check-fraud scheme

Suspect duplicates checks from car dealerships and cashes them in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.

Warminster Township police are seeking a suspect in a check-fraud scheme in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.

Police described the scheme Thursday:

The suspect goes to a car dealership and puts a $1,500.00 cash deposit on a vehicle. The next day, he says he no longer wants the vehicle, and the dealership issues a check, which the suspect duplicates and cashes at banks and check-cashing businesses.

The name used to conduct the scheme is a stolen New Jersey or Delaware identity, and the identification cards used are fraudulent.

Police ask anyone having contact with the suspect in this photo to call them at 215-443-5000.
