(Le Mars) — Area law enforcement authorities are looking for a suspect that was involved with numerous bank theft and forgery fraud attempts within northwest Iowa. The incidents happened on Tuesday. The suspect apparently tried his scam at two Sioux County banks in Granville and Alton, as well as the Kingsley State Bank in LeMars.
Le Mars Police Sargent Jay King explains the circumstances.
King offers a description of the suspect.
King says no weapons were used, during the incident. The same suspect used the same scam technique with banks in Alton and Granville earlier in the day. Sioux County Sheriff’s Deputy Nate Huizenga talks about those incidents.
Law enforcement officials believe the same suspect used the tactic at a Sioux City bank.
Law enforcement officials are not certain whether the suspect is still within the area. Officials would not say how much money was involved.
