VALPARAISO — A fraud prevention effort put in place by the Porter County Clerk's office paid off to the tune of more than $7,000 Wednesday.
Deputy Clerk Jacalyne Haney said the office caught five fraudulent checks written to the same person using numbers from the office's bank account.
The fraudulent checks were discovered during a regular evaluation done by Chase Bank, she said.
Porter County Clerk Karen Martin put the system in place to protect tax dollars following earlier fraud attempts.
The bad checks were reported Wednesday to police.
