Check forging ring accused of stealing $129k from several stores By Kody Fisher | February 25, 2021 at 10:20 PM EST - Updated February 26 at 11:38 AM
CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Alleged members of a check-forging ring were indicted Thursday in Hamilton County.
Authorities say they got away with $129,000 in items from several local stores before they were caught.
The group of seven started their scam four years ago, according to Assistant Hamilton County Prosecutor Andy Berghausen.
One of the main ring leaders had just finished a three-year prison sentence for nearly the same crime, Berghausen explains.
