Dickson cashed four checks, totaling $1,660, according to the Nov. 7 incident report. The checks were all cashed during the time the car was being fixed, so the police were quickly able to narrow suspects, said police Lt. Jeffrey Dickan.

Dickson was charged with grand larceny in the fourth degree and forgery in the third degree and he was released on $500 bail.
