Brentwood police arrested a Walnut Creek man earlier this week for allegedly committing fraud at a bank.
An officer responded around 3:30 p.m. Monday to a bank, where the manager said last week a man cashed a $2,000 check, which was later determined to be fraudulent. The bank provided a photo of the suspect and identified him as 34-year-old Adam Lew.
A few hours later, police received a call requesting a welfare check on an adult male sitting in his car in the 4500 block of Balfour Road.
Responding officers immediately recognized the man in the car as Lew and arrested him. Police said they found fraudulent checks, an M80 firework, shaved keys, and several debit and credit cards that didn’t belong to Lew.
Police transported Lew to Martinez Detention Facility, where he was booked on suspicion of passing a fraudulent check, possession of stolen debit and credit cards, possession of a destructive device, identity theft and other related crimes.
