Suspect Cashes $13,000 in Forged Checks

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA -- Gwinnett County police are looking for a man they say cashed three forged checks worth more than $13,000 at three different SunTrust banks.

A fraud investigator from SunTrust contacted police in late February about the suspicious checks.

On August 22, police say the suspect cashed a fraudulent check for $4,765 at the SunTrust inside Publix at 4850 Sugarloaf Pkwy. in Lawrenceville. The check was payable to "Sean Clark" and the suspect used a Pennsylvania driver's license as identification.

On August 26, the same man cashed a check for $4,560, also payable to "Sean Clark," at SunTrust located at 701 Duluth Hwy. in Lawrenceville. He used the same driver's license as ID.

That same day, he also cashed a forged check for $4,240. This one was payable to "Andre Brown" and he used another Pennsylvania license. This was at SunTrust at 911 Duluth Hwy., about a mile away from the previous bank.

Investigators have determined that the driver's licenses used do not belong to the man shown in surveillance videos.

The account holder of the cashed checks contacted SunTrust in September.

Anyone with information in the case is asked to contact the Gwinnett Police electronic and financial crimes unit at (770) 513-5300 or, to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at (404) 577-TIPS (8477).
