Police investigate check fraud

The employee provided copies of five checks drawn on an account held by Chancey Construction Inc. of 531 Chicken Lyle Road in Winder. According to the employee, the checks had been cashed between January 16 and 19 for a total of $1,141.

The investigating officer learned that Winder Police also have an open case regarding the same account.

Attempts by police to reach a company representative at the phone number listed on the checks were unsuccessful. A recording indicated the number was no longer in service.

The case remains under investigation.
