Fugitive Charged In ‘Large-Scale Check Fraud’ Resulting In $250K Loss To Business: North Haven PD

NORTH HAVEN, CT — A Philadelphia man has been arrested in connection with defrauding a North Haven business out of more than $250,000 following a year-long investigation, according to police.

North Haven police received a report on Nov. 3, 2024 regarding a “large-scale check fraud” involving a business that suffered losses exceeding $250,000 after an altered check was deposited in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, according to police.

“North Haven Police Detectives launched an extensive investigation, executing multiple search warrants on financial institutions, cellular devices, social media platforms, and associated IP addresses,” police wrote in a post on Facebook.

Police said evidence obtained through the warrants led investigators to identify the suspect as 37-year-old Philadelphia resident Brandon Segers.

Following a year-long investigation, police said detectives secured an extraditable arrest warrant for Segers.

On Oct. 21, with assistance from the United States Marshals Fugitive Task Force, Segers was apprehended in Philadelphia and charged as a fugitive from justice. He was detained at the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility pending extradition, according to police.

North Haven detectives traveled to Philadelphia on Tuesday, Nov. 11, took custody of Segers, and transported him back to Connecticut, according to police.

Segers was formally charged with first-degree larceny, second-degree forgery, and fraudulent use of an ATM. He was being held on bond and is scheduled to appear in Meriden Superior Court on Wednesday, police said.

“The North Haven Police Department remains unwavering; financial crime doesn’t stop at state lines— and neither do we,” police wrote.
