Two cases of fraud are being investigated by Sussex RCMP. This after a pair of businesses on Main Street accepted personal checks for service and items purchased. It happened back on September.30th and October.2nd and they were returned as no sufficient funds yesterday. The man who wrote the checks used a reference name from Sussex as a person he was working for but the reference was never checked out.
A suspect has been identified but officers warn businesses not to accept personal checks unless they know the person from whom they are accepting them.
