Banks in the Statesboro and Bulloch County area should be on the lookout for people trying to cash bad checks as part of a statewide fraudulent check cashing operation. Capt. Scott Brunson said the Criminal Investigations Division of the Statesboro Police Department is working with federal law enforcement agencies in an ongoing investigation. Brunson said a criminal organization is recruiting homeless individuals in or around the metro Atlanta area to pass the checks.
