MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WKRN) -- Fraud detectives from the Murfreesboro Police Department have launched an investigation into a possible crime ring where people are reportedly using fake IDs and personal account information to take thousands of dollars from victims' bank accounts.
According to authorities, the latest incident took place on Thursday, April 18 at the Redstone Financial Credit Union (RFCU) on Medical Center Parkway.
Police said an unidentified man made a fake driver’s license with his photo and the account holder's name, address, and birth date. Then, he allegedly withdrew $9,000 in multiple transactions.
Officials said the victim, who is from Alabama, closed the account after realizing money was fraudulently withdrawn.
On Monday, April 15, a different man reportedly used two different fraudulent IDs -- which had his photo and the personal information of two different victims -- and withdrew $7,700 from the two accounts at the RFCU South Rutherford Boulevard and Medical Center locations.
"It doesn’t appear these men are amateurs, they are comfortable making these fraudulent transactions," said Murfreesboro Public Safety Public Information Officer Larry Flowers. "Since the IDs were so well produced, there were no red flags that the transactions were fraudulent."
If you can help identify these men, you are asked to call Detective Ray Daniel at 629-201-5512 or Detective Jessica Rice at 629-201-5550.
