AGO prosecutes 2 for bad checks
The Attorney General’s Office has filed criminal cases against two persons who were among three suspects arrested in July for allegedly stealing and forging several checks.
Barbie Ann B. Borja was charged with two counts of issuing bad checks, while Milton B. Camacho was charged with one count. Both were summoned to appear and answer the charges in the Superior Court on Oct. 20 at 9am.
Assistant Attorney General Joseph Taijeron stated in the information that on April 4, 2008 Borja issued a $389.76 check to CYA Store in Koblerville under a closed account of Let’s Go Diving Corp.
Taijeron said that on June 12, 2008, Borja issued another rubber check in the amount of $378.78 under the account of Freedom Inc.
With respect to Camacho, the defendant allegedly issued a back check in the amount of $369.73 under the account of Freedom Inc.
Last July, police arrested Borja, Camacho, and Zenita B. Cabrera for allegedly stealing and forging several checks from a company.
Detective Vincent K. Basa stated in his report that on June 18, 2008, a person disclosed that Borja and Cabrera broke into an establishment behind the former Arizona Sports Bar in Susupe and stole some company checks.
Basa said two days later, the owner of Freedom Inc., reported to the police that a bank employee called him about some of the company’s checks that the bank had received.
The bank employee told the businessman that his account is no longer active.
Police further investigation allegedly revealed that the three defendants were involved in the stealing of checks and had cashed them at some stores on Saipan.
Borja and Cabrera are under probation, while Camacho has a rap sheet involving various criminal and drug related offenses, police said.
