Youngstown officials looking for check forger

YOUNGSTOWN — Officials are trying to determine who is forging checks in the name of the Youngstown clerk of courts office.

According to police reports, someone cashed a $945 check Thursday at the Public Market on Phelps Street across from Youngstown City Hall. The check was later determined to be a fraud, and police are looking for the 21-year-old female who allegedly cashed the check.

Reports say clerk of courts employees suspect that two more fraudulent checks in the name of the clerks office may have been cashed at a business in Austintown.
