Identity fraud

A man discovered someone wrote a check using his bank account number.

The victim told LaGrange police his wife noticed the fraudulent check while looking at their account online. It was made out to a grocery store for more than $144.

The man also remembered he last used his checking account to pay some bills in March, the report said. But he was contacted a few weeks later and told the payments never made it to their destination.

The victim told police he believed someone stole the payments out of his mailbox.

Police are investigating.
