It was also discovered that on April 1, a deposit was made in New York in the amount of $15 which was also fraudulent. The incident was reported to TD Bank and the account was closed.

Recovered Stolen Property: On April 3, police were advised that a township resident located street signs in the wooded property behind The Limit, located at 1486 Skippack Pike.

The signs were recovered by police, and it was determined that they had been stolen from Montgomery County Community College. They were returned to the college.
