Two checks written by an Irvine business were intercepted and altered, according to the Irvine Police Department.

Two male suspects deposited the altered checks into accounts, with a loss of over $43,000.

Irvine police investigators find that criminals utilize accounts that do not belong to them to conceal their identity, launder money, and avoid detection.

If you can help the investigators to identify these men, please contact mlelesi@cityofirvine.org.

As a reminder, hand checks and important documents to a letter carrier or drop them off inside the post office. Avoid using public mailboxes when possible.
