Arrests Made In Westland Money Fraud Case
Westland Police say they've put the brakes on an international money fraud scheme. Authorities say 3 local men allegedly cashed and attempted to cash more than $500,000 in fake money orders at a local business.
During this investigation, it was learned that the fraudulent money orders had been sent from The Republic of Benin, in West Africa. Because of the international connection and the use of the U.S. Postal System, the case has been turned over to the U.S. Postal Inspector.
The suspects, one from Canton and two from Ann Arbor, have been charged with fraud in this case.
