WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, NJ (Morris County) – A New York woman has been charged for allegedly altering a check that was written by West Morris Central High School, police said.
According to police, the woman intercepted the check, which was to pay for a sporting event that had taken place in New York, and changed the amount from $350 to $4,800 which was eventually deposited and then withdrawn at a bank in New York, police said.
Detectives were able to follow the check’s path which eventually led to the suspect, police said.
The woman from the Bronx, whose name was not released, was charged on July 7 with third-degree theft and released pending a court appearance, police said.
