Deputies: Bank manager helps foil DeBary check-fraud scam; three arrested

Thanks in part to a vigilant bank manager, three were charged with fraud on Friday in what authorities in Volusia County are calling a "check fraud and identity theft caper." Sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said the arrests stemmed from two prior thefts: one from June, in which a South Florida woman's driver's license and bank card were taken, and another on Wednesday in Volusia, in which deputies say blank checks were stolen. It was all part of a three-part check forgery scheme, Davidson said, but the all important last phase of the plan was foiled by a bank manager who noticed that the bank card had been reported stolen.
