MEDIA RELEASE
 
Check Fraud Suspects Wanted for Questioning
 
SANTA BARBARA, CA – 03/16/17
 
The two females depicted in the surveillance photographs are suspects in numerous check fraud cases within the cities of Santa Barbara, Goleta, Ventura, and Oxnard. According to statements provided by the victims, the females are approaching bank customers and asking for their assistance in cashing a check on their behalf. The females plead with the victims, claiming they cannot cash the check themselves as they do not have identification and/or are not clients of the bank. In each of the abovementioned cases, the checks they are requesting to be cashed were stolen from a mailbox prior. If you have any information or can identify the females, please contact Detective DeBlauw with the Santa Barbara Police Department at (805) 897-2327 / [email protected] or call anonymously to (805) 897-2386.
