Philadelphia police busted a Check Cashing scheme, one that netted thousands of dollars. Tell us bit, steve at the round house. Reporter mike, you know after doing this all these years, christmas criminals are as common as Christmas Carols at the holiday time we have to tell you to be on the look out for ways people trying to rip you off with your holiday budgets. Well this day is no different. The Holiday Season means pick pockets, packages stolen off your doorsteps and other ways to rip you off like finding your Checking Account number on bottom of one of your checks and making new checks with your number and taking out everything that youve got in your account. One of the four guys, still on the lamb after developing a good scheme with this is maurice brown. If you know him you can make a Major Crimes UnitChristmas Wish list by calling in a tip. He is the only guy they have not caught just yet. What happened was he and his team, according to the police here would get blank checks from a stationary store like a staples. And then, because they can see legitimate checks written by legitimate companies for payments for things, they got the the account number off the bottom righthand, called the the bank, went on line, got the routeing number and they started printing out fake checks and making big profits. The individuals involved are organized group of check counterfeiters. They counterfeit business checks from other companies and write them hems to themselves and they go in and cash the checks a lot of times when it is a Large Business it takes a while for them to catch up and realize that these checks are count are fit and they have already been cashed and these guys are in the wind. We did our investigation we found out that there were four individuals involved in this particular ring. Three of which we have in custody. We have one male still outstanding. Reporter so, printing counterfeit checks is easier then printing counterfeit cash and that is why you wonder why it is not more widespread, and why banks dont do what the credit Cards Companies do. The notice your statement only the last four of the 16 digits are on the statements now, maybe they need to start doing that with checks, and again, major crimes would love to look under the tree on Christmas Morning and see mr. Brown, not in the mug shot but in a prison. That is for sure. Chris murphy, what else is going on in the world. Lets take to you chicago, a 21 yearold black manmade an initial appearance in federal court on allegations he threatened to kill 16 white male students and staff at the university of chicago.

Ten people were detained but only issued citations. Van dyke is charged with first degree murder after shooting 17 yearold Laquan Mcdonald last year. His Attorney Says the office is prepared to fight this case. He is prepared for the long hall. The as i told him it will be a series of various steps and this is just step number one in this process.

That is a look at national news. Guys, back to you. Boy did you stay up to watch that game last night, exciting finish to monday night football. You think browns and a ravens wouldnt provide a lot of fire works, but they did. Yeah. We will pick it up in the final second of the game, tied at 27. So browns will win it, right here. They will win it, right here. Lets go, cleveland with a winning, umhmm, oh, no, oh, no. He is not going to run it all the way back. He is not, to win the game, really. How about that. What a finish. To the ravens, beating the browns three27. I mean you talk about Cleveland Browns fans. They have had it rough, forever. And then that happened last night . They will win the game and then oops, nope. It is a miracle in the meadow land, two. Well, not the the in meadow land. That is horrible. Sixers rookie Jahlil Okafor will now have some company the the next time he plans to go out, clubbing. He doesnt have to be alone. Espn is report ago this a Security Guard will be with him whenever he goes out, from now on. Wow. Do you remember this video surfaced with him getting in the fight with a man outside a boston nightclub. The the request for a guard came from those close to jahlil. It says they asked him to make a Security Guard available after his off court incidents, despite problems and october incident someone point aid gun at okafors head, and, in a bar. And he stopped by police, and reportedly going 108 miles an hour, on the ben franklin bridge. Yes. Okafor went to twitter and apologized for his actions and hopefully Security Guard will make things easier for him when people want to step up to him. This is what i need. I need a Security Guard around me at all times. You been fighting people that we do not know about. Something we should know. I could use that. Basically chris murphy is my security gar. Were constantly together. You might want to get a different one. I dont know how good that will go. True. So be it, so be it, okay, they tried. Tonight is last time you will ever see kobe bryant playing the on the court in philadelphia, alex holley. It is kicking off right here. Lakers star announced he will retire after this season. The lower merion grad has played 20 seasons in the league, five championship and this will be his final game against the the sixers, final time coming to philadelphia, playing on the court. A man who will announce him as he enters the court area, one matt cord. Hi there matt. Michael and alex, good morning. Yes, good morning. But first lets make sure we know it is moses malone tribute night tonight. Moses malone, nba hall of famer. Who will be there. Doctor j will be there. That is great. A a lot of mosess family. The first 15,000 fans get a commemorative poster. It is moses. It the is moses. Suddenly he tied back in september. It is horrible. Way too young. The heart attack. He was go to go play in the Golf Tournament the the next day. It was just a shocker. There will be special tributes played throughout the game. Yes, exactly. Chairman of the board. And fo, fo, fo, and the final was against lakers where we crushed them. He probably had most dominant series ever against kareem abdul jabber and fo, fo, fo is in the inside of the ring. So that is the big thing tonight. And then kobe drops the bomb shell on sunday. By the the way, im retiring. My first away game will be in philadelphia. When is next time we can find footage of him in the sixers uniform. He is talking about the video. When it comes to kobe, mike said, okay how fitting is it he is finishing off his career right here in his first game since the announcement and he started it here. He went to Lower Merion High School. Mike said we cannot claim that. He is no the a big fan of philadelphia. Heres a problem with kobe. Is there a love hate when were in the final with the lakers. Wheat beat them game one. Iverson hits that shot over lui. And then next game kobe is going to rip their hearts out. Game three lakers come to the Wells Fargo Center or whatever it was called at that time and every time he got the bald we booed him like crazy. He wanted to rip our hearts out. They win game 25 and win championship have the first time in the history of the nba that the trophy presentation had to be done in the visiting team nba locker room because they thought fans would boo lakers on the court. On the pa announcer. Aim excited. I have three pages of copy i had to read about please welcome nba championship. That was that. And then we had allstar game in philadelphia, every time kobe touches the the ball, the fans boo him like crazy. Then he won the mvp that night of the allstar game because he was only player that didnt go out, and they booed him again. I think that is 14 years ago. Yes, tonight they wont be booing. Yes. I think he will get a nice ovation tonight. It will be a presentation before the game, right with the lower merion coach. I dont know about that. It says it right here. I think it is talking points. Kobes High School Coach and current lower merion mens coach and with mens coach, they will come out there, oh, sorry, they will get a award. That makes sense. They will come out and talk with kobe. Yes. I will give him a good introduction, give him a good introduction. You said he would be sixth guard from Lower Merion High School, number eight, or 24, kobe bryant. When you think bit, kobe will be first player to have two numbers retired in the raptors for the same team. Is that right. Doctor j is retired a at 32 with the nets and sixers. But i dont think is there a player that has two separate numbers retired. Jordan wore 45 but didnt wear it long enough so they only retired 23. But he won three with number eight and two with number 24. And pain a trying boot. Who is this from. Yes. No, it is official. Okay. Good morning. Give us the introduction for
