In the old days a cashiers check meant that the money had been given to the bank that issued the check. A cashier check was considered to be as good as cash because the bank already had the cash to redeem it. The problem comes when someone steals the blank check forms and has the proper equipment to print the checks. it wasn't easy to get the equipment. Today it is and cashiers checks are not that commonly used anymore.

A Northwestern dealer has become the most recent victim of theft ($79,000) involving the fraudulent use of counterfeit cashier's checks issued on Sun Trust Bank.

The Numismatic Crime Information Center is working with the Major Crimes Unit of the Atlanta, GA Police dept in an attempt to identify suspects in these offenses.

The following is updated information on suspects:

The checks show to have been issued by SunTrust Bank.
The checks identify purchasers as Dave Steele, Tim Tisher and Chad Dawkins.
The suspects are using the following addresses:
2666 Lincoln Ct. Atlanta, GA
1497 Westmont Dr. Atlanta, GA
25620 Forest Downs Circle College Park,GA
200 Holiday Way Carrollton, GA


The offenses appear to be the work of an organized group working within the State of Georgia.
