When the Chase Bank in Ledgewood, New Jersey, suspected Mark Kraus of misappropriating a client's funds, they alerted the police.
The Roxbury Police investigated the allegations and found Kraus was stealing from a 74-year-old woman. The Roxbury police arrested Kraus and charged him with: 19 counts of forgery, one count of theft of $44,000, and one count of criminal attempt of theft of $12,000.
The 19 forgeries Kraus was charged with were for the withdrawals from his client’s checking account which totaled $44,000. The $12,000 count of criminal attempt of theft, was yet another forgery attempt which was declined by the bank, police said.
Bail has been set at $100,000 with no 10 percent option.
