Store loses thousands of dollars to bad checks

An employee with JR Food Mart at 1616 Whitesville St. reported to LaGrange Police that four different men came in at different times to cash their pay checks inside the store, but each check bounced

The employee said the first incident was April 13 when a man came in to cash his pay check. After she deposited the money into her account, the check was then canceled by the company.

According to the victim, when she contacted the company to find out what happened, she learned the same man went back to them and claimed he lost his original pay check, so they canceled it and issued him a new one.

The victim said this scam happened at the store three more times – one incident involved a man who won $5,000 from the Georgia Lottery Commission. The suspect then told the lottery corporation he lost the winning check, according to the victim.

In all, the scams cost the business a total $7,836.06, the employee said.

LaGrange police were investigating.

The suspects face charges of theft by deception.
