Communication is not only the hallmark of a good relationship, but crucial for investigations. A repeat fraud suspect was arrested yesterday during his most recent fraud attempt thanks to the great communication skills of Bank Fraud Investigators.

On October 23rd at approximately 4:39 p.m. K.W. Suter responded to Navy Federal Credit Union, located at 308 Worth Avenue, for a fraud in progress. Staff advised a male came into the business to open an account. Luckily, this staff member paid attention to flyers from their fraud team and recognized him as a suspect from other fraud offenses.

The suspect provided a fake identification and social security card during his failed fraud offense. Deputy Suter made contact with the suspect, who was very eager to leave, and detained him. The suspect provided a false identification to deputies as well. Deputy Suter made contact with a Fraud Investigator who advised the suspect was involved in a number of fraud offenses from Virginia to Florida, each time using a different name.

Of all the banks of all the towns in all the world, the suspect walked into this one only to walk out in handcuffs. The suspect was eventually identified as Kiah Davis, 63, of Chesapeake. He was charged with two counts of uttering, identity theft, and providing a false identification to law enforcement. While he bounced around from different places in Virginia, his stay in Stafford was extended, for he was held at Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond.

Excellent work by staff at Navy Federal Credit Union to end this crime spree.
