The York County Sheriff’s Office is actively seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a serial fraud suspect responsible for a significant financial crime in Fort Mill, South Carolina. The investigation centers on an incident that occurred on July 6, 2026, at approximately 1:00 p.m. at the First National Bank branch located at 1738 Gold Hill Road. According to authorities, an unidentified older white male entered the bank and successfully cashed a fraudulent check totaling $7,100. To facilitate the transaction, the suspect presented a fake driver’s license that contained the compromised personal information of victims residing in Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Investigators have identified a distinct pattern in the suspect’s methodology, indicating that he is not a first-time offender. He has allegedly targeted other First National Bank locations, including branches in Greensboro, North Carolina, since May 2026. During these fraudulent transactions, the suspect reportedly attempts to lower the guard of bank tellers by claiming he is from out of town and visiting the area to attend a funeral. This behavioral pattern suggests a calculated effort to gain trust and avoid suspicion.

The suspect is currently wanted for charges of Financial Identity Fraud and Obtaining Money Under False Pretenses. The Sheriff’s Office, in collaboration with Crime Stoppers of York County, has released surveillance images to aid in the identification of the individual. The suspect is described as an older white male with a goatee. He was seen wearing eyeglasses and sunglasses, along with various button-down short-sleeve and flannel shirts. Authorities emphasize that the suspect is still at large and pose a continued risk to financial institutions in the region.

Individuals who believe they have information regarding the identity or whereabouts of this suspect are strongly encouraged to come forward. Tips can be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers of York County by visiting crimestoppersofyorkcounty.com or by using the P3TIPS.COM platform. The investigating agency urges the public to review the released surveillance files and report any relevant details to help bring the suspect to justice.
