Arnold Police are trying to find a woman who reportedly deposited a stolen check into her account at the Arsenal Credit Union, 3780 Vogel Road. After depositing the check, the suspect allegedly made two withdrawals from the account, stealing $5,275 from a St. Louis woman, police reported.
The suspect deposited the stolen check, which was for $6,275, on Nov. 14 and immediately withdrew $1,000. She returned later that same day and withdrew another $4,275, the report said.
At about 10:20 a.m. Nov. 15, the woman returned to the bank to make another withdrawal. By then, however, bank employees had learned that a 62-year-old St. Louis woman had reported that her purse and the check had been stolen Oct. 30 in St. Louis County, according to the report.
After the suspect showed up to make the third withdrawal, she was questioned about it and left without getting any more money, Arnold Police reported.
As of Nov. 22, the suspect had not been located, Lt. Jeremy Christopher said. He asks anyone with information about the incident to call Arnold Police at 636-296-3204.
