On July 18, 2016, a Monument, CO resident reported that, while reviewing their checking account statement, they noticed two checks written on their account that they did not write. The victims had recently ordered checks, and were still in possession of the two check numbers shown on their account that had been passed. The checks had the correct bank information on them, but different names.
 
The first check displayed the name Kyle Johnston, 2711 S Lowell Boulevard, Denver, CO 80236, and was passed June 20, 2016, at 8:52 PM, at the Diamond Shamrock located at 3290 Austin Bluffs Parkway in Colorado Springs in the amount of $26.91. During the investigation, it was learned the suspect also purchased two $100 gift cards and two greeting cards during this fraudulent transaction.
 
The second check was passed on June 22, 2016, at the Castle Rock Target located at 5010 Founders Parkway in the amount of $220.61. It was cleared by way of automatic authorization so the victim is unable to see the check. 
 
The suspect is described as a heavyset White male, possibly in his 20’s, facial hair on chin, short dark brown hair, last seen wearing a blue shirt and jeans and prescription glasses.
