In a recent revelation, the Irvine Police Department has disclosed that a local business was victimized by a mail theft operation that resulted in the cashing of altered checks totaling in a staggering loss of over $238,000. The investigation is currently underway as officers are on the lookout for five men suspected to be involved in this felony heist, according to the Irvine Police Department.
The Irvine PD, leveraging social media's expansive reach, coined the incident #FELONYFRIDAY — a tag that has quickly gained traction across platforms. The checks, which were mailed out by the unnamed business, were intercepted and cunningly altered by the suspects to illicitly withdraw funds. The department has urged anyone with information to step forward and has provided contact details for detective N. Berbiglia at [email protected] for tips, as per the Irvine Police Department.
