Passer Warned of $98 Forged Checks in State
Citizens Bank cashier John Bicknell said three forged checks drawn on a non existent Clare bank account were turned in by Clare Furniture Co Household Appliances in Mt Pleasant and two Midland stores. Detectives from East Lansing aided the probe as the forgeries used small pocket sized checks bearing Citizens Bank and Trust Co and were written to Norman D Lockhart signed by Raymond A Chandler. The suspect asks to pay down on a purchase then takes the change in cash, so the public should verify identifications with the store and bank.
