Darien Police say a complainant reported an incident of a potentially suspicious transaction on behalf of his mother on Saturday, April 20 around 11:30 a.m.
The complainant allegedly told officers that one of the victim’s checks had been cashed in New Jersey in the amount of $5,200 on Tuesday, April 9.
The complainant’s mother confirmed that she had not written a check from her account to anyone, according to police.
Police say a second check was attempted on Thursday, April 11, but the bank found it suspicious and denied the transaction.
After the victim was given the information on the two fraudulent checks, she confirmed that they had been removed from the checkbook, police say.
The complainant further stated that the victim recently employed a company that provides visiting aids and that she had had multiple visitors at her Birch Road home, according to police.
Police say the complainant suspects that one of the multiple people that had been in his mother’s home may have taken the checks.
The names on both checks were unknown to the victim and did not match the names of any of the visiting aids, police say.
