PHOTOS: Montgomery police investigating mail theft and check fraud

Authorities are investigating a case of mail theft and check fraud related to a recent incident in Montgomery.

Police say a business in Prattville mailed a check on May 27, 2025, which was intercepted before reaching its intended recipient.

According to CrimeStoppers, the check was fraudulently altered to be made payable to “Darrell Gibson.” It remains unclear
whether anyone named Darrell Gibson is connected to the original account.

On June 5, 2025 at about 3:30PM, the altered check was deposited at Max Credit Union in Montgomery for the amount of
$9,875.45.

Surveillance images show the individual involved in the transaction taking steps to conceal their identity. The suspect covered their face and obscured the vehicle’s license plate using what appeared to be an apron, CrimeStoppers said.
