Former bank employee Fedrick Jeffries is facing charges for allegedly stealing $2.3 million from Fifth Third Bank in Atlanta, Georgia. He is accused of identity theft, computer forgery, and theft by taking. Jeffries allegedly opened fraudulent accounts, deposited money using forged checks with stolen identities, and collaborated with unidentified suspects to access the accounts online. Another employee at a different branch is implicated in a similar scheme, with a total alleged theft of over $2.6 million between the two cases.
Fedrick Jeffries, a former bank employee, is facing seven counts of identity theft, five counts of computer forgery, and one count of theft by taking for allegedly stealing $2.3 million from Fifth Third Bank in Atlanta, Georgia. Jeffries was arrested and booked into a county jail following an investigation that began when his co-workers grew suspicious of him. The employees suspected that Jeffries had opened up multiple fraudulent checking accounts and took money from the bank. Investigators later determined that Jeffries had opened five fraudulent accounts and deposited millions of dollars into them using forged checks with stolen identities. Additional unidentified suspects allegedly entered the bank, deposited the fraudulent checks, and accessed the accounts online. Another employee was conducting a similar scheme in West Palm Beach, Florida at another Fifth Third branch, with the total alleged stolen amount exceeding $2.6 million.
