Lee’s Summit Police Needs Your Help to Identify Suspects Photographed Using Stolen Checks.
Suspects Photographed Using Stolen Checks.
By Sgt Michael Childs,
LSPD
On 05-19-10 at
9:50 pm officers were dispatched 634
NE M-291 (Deals) in regards to a reported strong-armed robbery. The
incident occurred on the parking lot as a 49 year old female Kansas City resident was entering her vehicle
after leaving work for the night. She reported a black male in his early
twenties approached her from behind and grabbed her purse at which time a
struggle ensued. The suspect was able to gain control of the purse and ran west
through the parking lot. The victim was unable to get a good look at the
suspect during the struggle but provided a basic description of a black male in
his early twenties, wearing long dark shorts and a dark or black hooded
sweatshirt.
Since the original
offense the victim’s checks and debit/credit cards have been used throughout
the metro area at casinos, gas stations and retail stores accounting for over
$2,000 in fraudulent charges. The suspects have also used the victim’s
information to open or attempt to open charge accounts at several locations.
Detectives have
obtained security photographs of two suspects who are active in using the
victim’s information. The photographs from a local casino capture a white
female, blonde hair possibly 40 to 50 years of age, and a black male, possibly
of a younger age range but bald with a goatee, as they enter on two separate
occasions. Additional information identifies the suspect’s vehicle as a silver
Ford Taurus with a sunroof.
Lee’s Summit detectives ask that anyone with information or the ability to identify the
suspects please contact the LSPD at 816-969-1720.

GREAT information to look out for the suspect. This is a fantastic way to use on line real time news. Can you publish the name that is on the stolen checks and credit cards? It would be much easier to intercept them if someone else is trying to use them if we know the name to watch for as well as the photo.
