Somerset Police Arrest Three In Check Fraud Scheme

Police arrested three individuals and summoned a fourth person for allegedly attempting to commit check fraud involving $35,000 in Somerset. On October 28th, officers responded to Citizens Bank after surveillance identified a suspect from the Fall River area trying to deposit a fraudulent check into an account opened just one day prior. The bank teller flagged suspicious activity and contacted the issuing business, which confirmed the check was forged using its name but payable to the suspect. Three people were arrested on charges including attempting to commit a crime and uttering a false check, while another individual faced criminal summons for their alleged involvement in this conspiracy.
