A Manchester woman faces numerous charges after she was found to be allegedly participating in a fraudulent money scheme.

On July 21st, Manchester Police received an investigative tip from a local bank, regarding suspicious activity relating to a customer. Chief Ben Davis says it was determined through investigative means that Linda Holz, of Manchester, was actively participating in a fraudulent money scheme involving multiple suspects from various states. A search warrant was requested and granted, which resulted in the seizure of digital devices and information pertaining to the investigation.

The Manchester PD says after a complete investigation, it was discovered that Holz actively participated in the forgery of several accounts, businesses, and personal account holders through various means – that included altering cashiers’ checks, laundering money, sending fictitious notices, and identity theft. The digital evidence collected puts the estimated amount of money stolen at over one million dollars.
