Area law enforcement are looking for an unknown male who has reportedly scammed multiple area banks.
Bowling Green Police Division was called to a bank in the 1200 block of North Main Street on Tuesday (Nov. 10) around 2:30 p.m. Officers were told that a man came into the bank on Nov. 5 around noon, and asked to get $4,500 in cash and another $4,500 in a cashier check.
He used the name and identification of an actual customer of the bank.
According to bank employees, he was at the bank for about 20 minutes during the transaction, and seemed patient while he waited. He reportedly told employees he was going to use the money to purchase farm equipment. He asked bank staff for restaurant recommendations.
The man got the cash and check, and left the bank.
The Bowling Green bank was later made aware that the same male had been to a Perrysburg and Findlay location of the bank for the exact same transaction. All the checks were canceled, but he had gotten $4,500 in cash from each location.
Other banks in the area were made aware of the suspect and his aliases, after which he tried the scam at a Walbridge bank and was denied. He reportedly then tried the scam in Delta, with police arriving at the bank just after he had left.
The most identifiable mark on the man is a tattoo of a scale on his right hand, according to the BG Police report.
