Gwinnett County police are searching for a woman they say deposited a bad check in a victim’s account and then took more than $4,000 from that account.
The suspect deposited a $4,180 check into the victim’s account at a Lawrenceville Wells Fargo on March 13, police said. The check was later returned for insufficient funds.

The next day the check was deposited, the suspect withdrew $2,497 in cash from the victim’s account at the same bank. The suspect also withdrew $503 from the account at a nearby Kroger and transferred $1,155 from the account to a “cash app,” according to police.
The victim does not know the suspect and did not authorize the deposit of the bad check or the multiple withdrawals, police said.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact Gwinnett County detectives at 770-513-5300 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. Crime Stoppers tips may be rewarded with up to $2,000 if they lead to an arrest or indictment.
