An extensive and complex multi-agency investigation into banking fraud, cigarette trafficking and money laundering has led to 43 people indicted on more than 740 crimes in Henrico County, with ties to Fairfax County.
Police said the two-year investigation began in January 2015 when a bank investigator in Fairfax County, contacted a Fairfax County Police detective to report a group of 12 to 14 people were engaged in a type of bank fraud known as “check kiting.” Check kiting is the act of intentionally writing checks from accounts with no available funds.
