6 arrested in elaborate fraud

Post Bulletin

A Rochester woman is being credited with helping break up what police are describing as an elaborate fraud scheme that has resulted in six arrests.

Four men and two women — all believed to be from Florida or North Carolina — were expected to be charged today with fraud and/or theft for allegedly buying big-ticket items from several Rochester stores and paying for them with fraudulent checks written against a fictitious or closed account.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension issued a statewide crime alert Monday afternoon, based on a report from Rochester Police Investigator Howard Seim.

Police Capt. Brian Winters this morning said the six, who describe themselves as homeless, apparently arrived in Rochester sometime late last week.
