Two Men Write $27,000 Worth of Bad Checks To Business, Police Say
Also, parents disagree on disciplining a 12-year-old during a domestic dispute. An arrest is merely an accusation, not evidence of a conviction.
A membership-only retail store in the 7300 block of Melvina (near Touhy) reported on Sept. 3 that two men wrote bad checks totaling $27,456.42 between July 8 and 15, according to the police report. The manager said one man had opened a business account membership with the store, then added the other man as an authorized user.
Employees tried to reach the owner numerous times at his businesses--a gas station in Harwood Heights and another on Montrose in Chicago--but the phone numbers were disconnected.
The manager gave police copies of the returned checks; police are following up.
