Surveillance video Jaquez obtained from College Park Police shows what police says is the identity thief casually walking into four different Bank of America branches across the metro area in order to commit the crimes.

“I don’t know who this lady is,” Swanson told Jaquez. 

Neither do investigators. They’ve been looking for the woman wearing a Steelers jacket in one of the videos since Jan. 16.

“She goes into the bank where our victim happens to have an account. She has realistic checks that are written to the victim,” Sgt. Marcus Dennard with the College Park Police Department said. 

With a bogus check, police said the thief managed to swipe several thousand dollars from the victim in just 3 days.

“There should have been some red flags that went up when that lady when in there,” Swanson said. 

Detectives said at this point they have no idea how the suspect compromised the Swanson’s information. 

A Bank of America representative sent Jaquez a statement, saying they’re committed to the security of their customers’ accounts and financial information, and encourage customers to monitor their accounts frequently.
