CRIME: Man charged with stealing checks

Staff Reports
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal

A city man is facing several felony charges after he allegedly forged several checks from a co-worker’s bank account.

Jason Glen Sears, 20, 6403 Buell Drive, was charged Wednesday with two counts each of second-degree forgery and second-degree possession of a forged instrument.

A Waterman Street man reported Tuesday that he opened his First Niagara Bank statement and noticed two checks that were made out to Sears, his coworker.

The first was made out April 2, in the amount of $150, and the second was made out April 8, in the amount of $50.

Both checks had been cashed, the report said.

The man said he did not write either of the checks, and had not signed them, the report said.

He told police he’d worked with Sears at D.R. Chamberlain on Simons Street for about six months.

The man reportedly said he did not know how Sears obtained the checks.

Sears was arrested after an investigation.

He was held without bail.
