Man Sought in $7,100 Bank Fraud Scheme

York County investigators are actively searching for a man implicated in a significant bank fraud case involving a $7,100 fraudulent check cashed at a Fort Mill bank. The suspect allegedly used a fabricated driver's license containing stolen personal information from victims in Pennsylvania and Ohio. This Fort Mill incident, occurring around 1 p.m. on July 6, is believed to be connected to a series of similar fraudulent activities at First National Bank branches. These activities have been ongoing since May, with investigators linking the suspect to at least one branch in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Investigators have identified a pattern in the suspect's modus operandi. He reportedly claimed to be visiting the area for a funeral, a story authorities suggest was used to lend credibility to his transactions. Surveillance images have been released showing an older white male with a goatee, wearing glasses and sunglasses, and seen in various shirts. The York County Sheriff's Office is requesting public assistance to identify and locate the suspect, who faces charges of financial identity fraud and obtaining money under false pretenses. Information can be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers of York County or the P3 Tips platform.
