The Clarkesville Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a man wanted in connection with identity theft, according to Clarkesville Assistant Police Chief Ryan Ledford.
Ledford provided what details were available about the case. The suspect allegedly withdrew $4,900 from an account at one of the banks in Clarkesville. The suspect had all of the necessary information required to fraudulently withdraw the money. “He had a lot of information on the victim,” Ledford said. “It obviously appears to not be his first time doing something like this.”
After the incident occurred, the bank notified area banks of the suspect. According to Ledford, the suspect attempted to do the same thing at a bank in the Dahlonega area. By that time, the account was blocked and the suspect fled the bank, leaving the fraudulent identification.
The Clarkesville Police Department asks that if you have any information on the identity of this subject or know his whereabouts, please contact the Clarkesville Police Department at 706-754-5390.
