A man is accused of defrauding two Hall County credit unions of more than $10,000, police said.
Oakwood Police are asking for help identifying the suspect, who completed a $5,000 loan transaction Feb. 28 at Lanier Federal Credit Union using another person’s identity.
“The suspect was in possession of a counterfeit South Carolina driver’s license that contained the suspect’s photo along with the victim’s name and personal information,” Oakwood Police Sgt. Danny Sridej wrote in a news release. “The suspect was seen leaving the area on foot with no vehicle information.”
The man is also suspected of committing a similar offense at the HallCo Community Credit Union, a case taken by the Gainesville Police.
“The suspect was able to defraud both credit unions and received cash in excess of $10,000 from these two incidents,” Sridej said.
The suspect was described as a black man in his late 40s or early 50s, weighing about 180-195 pounds and standing between 5-foot-11 and 6-foot-1 in height.
He is bald, has a mustache and was seen wearing prescription glasses.
