HARTFORD, Mich (WOOD) - Nine people are behind bars in Van Buren County after cashing or
attempting to cash counterfeit checks at a Hartford bank.
Employees from the National City Bank on South Center Street
called police drawing their attention to the suspicious situation
before noon Saturday.
When authorities arrived, they made contact with several
individuals who had arrived at the bank in a van with no license

other vehicles had cashed counterfeit checks totaling more than
$8,000.
Police were able to seize about $3,000 from those individuals
and counterfeit checks discovered in their vehicle.
All nine people taken in to custody identified themselves
with IDs from Mexico.
