Glen Rock NJ, on Tuesday May 24th at 2:41 PM, Glen Rock Police Patrols were dispatched to the M&T Bank on Prospect Street in response to a bank official’s report of a male subject, dressed as a construction worker, attempting to cash a fraudulent check. The bank manager related to officers that they became suspicious of the check, as well as the fact that the subject was not a customer of their bank. When they contacted the account holder it was confirmed that the check was in fact fraudulent. The actual account holder had been the victim of identity theft with several fraudulent checks cashed against their account. Responding officers ran a computer check of the identification provided by the actor, a Pennsylvania Driver’s license, which came back to a female subject who had also been the victim of identity theft.
