Dalton Police Seek Identity of Suspects in Fraud Case

Investigators with the Dalton Police Department are seeking information that will lead to the identification of multiple suspects involved in using stolen identification in an attempt to cash stolen checks.

The cases involve one to two suspects using both a stolen State ID card and stolen driver's license in an attempt to cash several forged checks that were stolen from a Dalton residence.  The attempts to cash these checks occurred at the BB&T branches in both Dalton on May 15th, and Calhoun on May 17th, 2007.  In both instances, the bank became suspicious and refused to cash the checks.  In one instance, bank personnel kept both the fraudulent check and the stolen ID.
