Roslindale Man Arrested on Warrant for Passing Fake $7K Check

A Roslindale man was arrested on a warrant for depositing and drawing money on a counterfeit check of more than $7,000 at the Bank of America.

On March 3 around 5:50 p.m., Ramon Vasquez, of 94 Birch St., Roslindale, was arrested on a West Roxbury District Court warrant for larceny of more than $250, forgery and uttering. He was arrested at his home without incident.

On Nov. 20, 2012, the Global Fraud Detection Service Operations notified the Bank of America that the check deposited was counterfeit. The bank's total net loss was $7,667.05.

A Bank of America senior compliance specialist first contacted to Boston Police on Dec. 19, 2012, to report the Roslindale Village branch had been a victim of a larceny, according to a Boston Police report. The suspect allegedly passed a third party check on Nov. 5, 2012, for a different name in the amount of $7,950, depositing the money into his account. The suspect then made withdrawals, transfers and charges against those funds on Nov. 5 and 6 of $7,600, according to a police report. 

The warrant was issued after the suspect did not appear for a Jan. 23, 2013 summonsing at the West Roxbury District Court.
