MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WMSV) – Murfreesboro fraud detectives are investigating a possible bank fraud crime ring.

The Murfreesboro Police Department said a group of people are using fake ID cards and personal account information to fraudulently withdraw thousands of dollars from the victims’ bank accounts.

The latest incident occurred at the Redstone Financial Credit Unit on Medical Center Parkway on April 18. An unidentified man showed a fake driver’s license with his photo, but the name, address and date of birth of the account holder. He took out $9,000 in multiple transaction from the cardholder’s account, police said.

On April 15, a different man reportedly used two different IDs with his photo and an account holder’s information and withdrew more than $7,500 from a victim’s accounts.

“It doesn’t appear these men are amateurs. They are comfortable making these fraudulent transactions,” Public Safety Public Information Officer Larry Flowers said in a release. “Since the IDs were so well produced, there were no red flags that the transactions were fraudulent.”

If you can assist with identifying the men, please contact Detective Ray Daniel at (629) 201-5512 or Detective Jessica Rice at (629) 201-5550.
