State Police Search for Suspected Checkbook Thief

State police are searching the person who stole three checkbooks from a car parked in a lot on Bantam Road in Bantam and they have released photos of a woman believed to be involved.

Police were alerted of the theft around 6:30 p.m. on April 24 and were able to get surveillance video footage that showed a person believed to be involved, as well as receive more information from witnesses.

As the investigation continued, police determined that some of the stolen checks had been cashed at several locations throughout the state, so troopers obtained more surveillance video footage from those locations.

On April 28, a woman with dark hair, driving a white Hyundai, was seen cashing five of the stolen checks at People's Bank drive-up windows on Silas Dean Highway in Wethersfield, on Franklin Avenue in Hartford, on Amity Road in Woodbridge and on Main Street in Bridgeport.

Police said the checks were cashed between noon and 2:35 p.m. and troopers are asking anyone who recognizes the woman or has information about the investigation to call Trooper Wichman at 860-626-7900.
