The suspects pictured below have been arrested in Northern California for theft by check and are awaiting extradition to Arizona for writing bad checks to coin dealers. The subjects wrote bad checks to dealers in Arizona, Oregon and California.

The suspects entered a coin shop in northern California and attempted to purchase coins. The owner recognized the suspects from a recent alert sent out by the Numismatic Crime Information Center and called police. The suspects left prior to police arriving but were later apprehended at a California checkpoint.

All dealers and collectors are urged to share the email crime alerts sent out by the Numismatic Crime Information Center with fellow numismatists.
