(Ross Township, PA) A check washing scheme investigation is currently underway, with all of the cases coming back to the McKnight Road post office outdoor drop boxes in Allegheny County. According to the Ross Township Police Department, it’s taken several reports from residents who have had checks cashed for larger amounts of money than what they were written for. If you have personal items or checks with sensitive information, use the inside drop boxes. Contact 911 to file a police report if you think you may be a victim of check washing.
