Transcript:
00:00
Have you looked at that small complaint from earlier today that our dispatch took?
00:09
I'm actually on the phone now with Firelands.
00:12
Give me one second, and then if you can call station, I can fill you in.
00:16
It sounds like it's not going to be, it's going to be the same report,
00:21
but Firelands here does not need a separate report.
00:23
Nothing happened here in Bellevue of Firelands.
00:25
It was just Croghan.
00:28
Correct. That suspect is in the parking lot.
00:33
The parking lot at your location?
00:37
April.
00:39
That's clear.
00:45
The person I was speaking with at Firelands advise that if you have that subject there, he's probably going to attempt to cash another check that's fraudulent as well.
00:55
They have one that isn't unaccounted for.
00:58
Okay, I'm meeting with that suspect and the Brantown Bank Manager right now.
01:05
That's clear, Rick.
01:09
Go ahead.
01:10
I confirm that Firelands doesn't need to make a report.
01:13
Is it okay to just close this out? Do you want a report attached to it?
01:18
Yeah, you can attach it.
01:20
Or if you close it out, I will attach it on my end.
01:25
That's clear.
01:28
Did you say that there's still a missing check?
01:36
Affirmative.
01:37
The Firelands handles the checks for Croghan, and they advise that there's one more check issued to that subject that is outstanding that hasn't been cashed yet.
01:49
They believe he may be at Croghan now trying to cash it can be tried in Norwalk, and they denied it.
