Miami- Detectives are investigating a man who has allegedly been stealing identities and passing counterfeit checks across South Florida. This form of criminal act is often referred to as Identity Theft.
In a statement made by police the suspect enters the victim's banks to then deposit counterfeit checks into their accounts. A split deposit is made where the suspect deposits a phony check into the victim's account to then withdraw a portion of the funds.
