Fresno County Sheriff’s deputies want to quickly catch a woman who allegedly cashed a $12,000 check belonging to a 103-year-old man.

The woman’s identity isn’t known, but a video camera at the Liquor King Store near Herndon and Blackstone avenues got a good shot of her.

According to the sheriff’s office, a tattoo on her upper right arm appears to be a tribal marking.

” Now, if you are asking yourself why a liquor store would cash a $12,000 check, we are wondering the same thing,” said sheriff’s spokesman Tony Botti in a news release. “Nevertheless, the money is gone and we just want to hold someone accountable for this crime.”

Have a Tip?

Anyone who can help identify the person in the photo is asked to please contact the Sheriff’s Office at (559) 600-3111 or Valley Crime Stoppers at (559) 498-7867, www.valleycrimestoppers.org.
