Windsor police are asking for the public’s help identifying two people who allegedly defrauded a local bank out of more than $64,000 earlier this year.
On Tuesday, police learned that two suspects had artificially inflated a “synthetically created” bank account by depositing a fake cheque. They “aggressively” withdrew the balance through ATM cash withdraws and account transfers between Jan. 31 and Feb. 5.
