A Marion County sheriff’s deputy was called to a Citizens First Bank branch Tuesday after a woman attempted to make a fraudulent transaction at the facility’s drive-thru window.
The bank’s security director, who met the deputy at the Mulberry Grove branch at 8590 SE 165th Mulberry Ln., said that on Sept. 7 at 5:30 p.m., a woman had attempted to cash a check using someone else’s driver’s license and debit card.
The security director said the bank teller noticed that the woman didn’t match the photo on the driver’s license. The teller called the customer and was told that her driver’s license and debit and credit cards had been stolen earlier this year, a sheriff’s office report states.
The bank teller attempted to stall the woman in the drive-thru until law enforcement could arrive, but she drove away in an unknown direction, the report says, adding that the deputy took possession of the stolen items and notified a detective about the incident.
