Altamonte Springs man accused of making fake deeds to sign over property after homeowners died
Spectrum News 13
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. — An Altamonte Springs man is accused of stealing property from homeowners who had died.
Samuel Bellamy faces multiple charges of forgery and theft. An investigation revealed Bellamy was allegedly living in one home, sold one home and had plans to sell another.
“I was appalled,” said Frank Martz, the Altamonte Springs City Manager. Martz said this case came to light because of the neighbors.
“We learned about this by residents who cared about these people who had passed away, alerting us that strangers started to go in and out of those homes,” Martz said.
The Altamonte Springs Police Department did not want to do an interview about the case, but the city manager shared some details.
“What happened in this case, someone forged documents, submitted them to the county, the county recorded them so it looked like there was a legitimate transfer, when it really wasn’t,” Martz said.
