From TheHammontonNews.com — Hammonton and Mullica Township police are investigating a counterfeit scheme in which participants have tried to cash more than $150,000 worth of fake checks at area banks over the past several weeks.

The checks have been drawn on six area farms — two in Hammonton, two in Mullica Township and two in Winslow Township, according to Hammonton Police Detective Joel Frederico.

Investigators did arrest one person — German Gonzalez, 28, whose address is unknown — when he tried to cash some of the checks at the TD Bank branch in Hammonton, Frederico said.

Gonzalez was charged with forgery, theft by deception, hindering apprehension, obstruction and possession of counterfeit checks, police said. He was sent to Atlantic County Jail in default of $100,000 bail.

Authorities also placed an immigration detainer against Gonzalez, a Mexico native.

A subsequent investigation led authorities to a motel room in Carneys Point, where they found more than a dozen uncashed counterfeit checks, Frederico said.

Thirteen checks totaling $10,000 were cashed at a check-cashing agency in Bridgeton, Frederico said.

People tried to cash counterfeit checks at a bank in Absecon, but they ran out of the bank when the teller became suspicious, police said.

  1. OkayFirst, you put 2 coins on one side and 2 coin on the other side.Case 1:If one side goes up, you know that side contains the cutroenfeit coin.Now you know one of the coins on the “lighter” side is cutroenfeit.Take those two coins and put them on opposite sides of the balance.The lighter coin is the cutroenfeit one.Case 2:If after you put 2 coins on one side and 2 coins on the other side, and the balance does not move, then you know that neither of those coins are cutroenfeit.Put those coins on the side and pick 2 of the remaining 3 coins.Place those one of those coins on one side of the balance and one coin on the other.If one side moves up, that is your cutroenfeit coin.If neither side moves up, the one remaining coin is your cutroenfeit.edit:Right it was a little late for me when I was coming up with this answer and I thought I was being smart! =)edit again:Figured it out:But 3 coins on either side of the scaleIf one side is lighter, take two of those coins and put them on either side of the scale. If one side is lighter, that is your cutroenfeit coins. If both sides are equal, the coin you did not put on the balance is your cutroenfeit coin.If when you weight your three coins on each side (six total), they all balance, place two of the three coins not balanced on the balance. If those two coins balance out, the one remaining coins is cutroenfeit. If one side is lighter, that is you cutroenfeit coin!
