Chicago Man Allegedly Frauds Another Local Bank
WARSAW — A Chicago man has been arrested on charges of fraud on a financial institution, level 5 felony, and theft, a level 6 felony after taking cash advances from a local bank.
Jamar D. Beach, 28, 6053 S. Winchester, Chicago, Ill., was booked in the Kosciusko County Jail late Thursday morning, Oct. 15.
Documents filed in Kosciusko Superior Court 1, state on Sept. 30, officials at First Federal Savings Bank, Warsaw, notified police regarding the fraud.
A branch manager stated an individual, identifying himself with an Illinois driver’s license and photograph ID as Beach, used a VISA credit card with the name Jamar Beech, to obtain an $820 cash advance. The bank received a dispute for the charge and learned the card did not belong to Beach. The manager believed Beach cloned a VISA account obtaining the card with his name and another person’s account.
Through the investigation it was learned the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department took a report, where on Aug. 14, Beach attempted to obtain funds from two Lake City Bank locations. He was arrested on Sept. 29 on two charges of fraud on a financial institution.
A photograph of eight individuals, including Beach, was shown to officials at First Federal Bank, who identified Beach as the individual using the fraudulent card.
Charges were filed by Warsaw Police on Oct. 15.
Beach is being held on a $10,000 surety and $250 cash bond.
