MONROE, La. (KNOE) – Authorities say a criminal enterprise that originated in Florida and spread throughout the nation has made its way to northeast Louisiana.
According to the Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office, thieves are engaging in a criminal scheme in which they break into vehicles, stealing ID cards and checks, and then impersonate the people on IDs to cash the stolen checks at a bank. The sheriff says such thieves have cashed $20,000 in stolen checks locally.
Sheriff David Hedrick says the suspects broke into cars in Vidalia and Natchez and stole the identities of several people. Authorities say one suspect was caught on camera at Delta Bank in Ferriday making a deposit for nearly $2,000. They say several days later she was caught on camera in New Orleans cashing checks at a Regions Bank. The sheriff says men in the group steal the IDs and checks, while the women disguise themselves to cash the checks.
