The following information is adapted from Flagler County Sheriff's Office news releases:

The Flagler County Sheriff's Office is seeking help finding two men detectives believe made fraudulent withdrawals from checking accounts at two local banks.

One man, shown at left in the photo above, used a Bank of America customer's debit card at the Bank of America outside ATM at 2 Old Kings Road on March 1, withdrawing $500 over three separate transactions.

The victim found out about the fraud after his checking account was overdrawn. He told detectives he was the only one with access to his account, and that he filed a fraud report with the bank and was able to get his money back and get a new card. 

Anyone who recognizes the suspect is asked to call Deputy Diego Gonzalez at 386-313-4911 or to email [email protected] regarding Case No. 16-19772. Or, to remain anonymous, call  Crime Stoppers of Northeast Florida at 1-888-277-8477 (TIPS). 

The other man, shown at right in the image above, is accused of making two fraudulent withdrawals from the SunTrust bank at 100 Flagler Plaza Drive for a total of more than $7,300.

The man made two withdrawals, for $2,800 and $4,575.75, from an account belonging to a Georgia man. The Georgia resident reported the fraud to his bank, and was reimbursed. 

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Detective Joe Costello at 386-586-4897 or email [email protected] regarding Case No. 16-26164. Or, to remain anonymous, call  Crime Stoppers of Northeast Florida at 1-888-277-8477. Crime Stoppers tipsters may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
