A Salina bank is out nearly $11,000 after someone opened two bank accounts in order to deposit bad checks into and then withdraw money through ATM’s.

Police Captain Mike Sweeney said between July 6th and October 20th, someone opened the accounts at First Bank Kansas, 235 S. Santa Fe.

Checks from three other banks in Salina were deposited into the accounts and money was withdrawn before the checks were discovered to be insufficient.

Police have a name for a person that was used to open the accounts. An investigation is ongoing.
