Two men have been arrested on suspicion of creating counterfeit checks, using them to buy goods at home improvement stores then reselling the items for cash.
The two men, resident of Anaheim and Santa Ana, were arrested Thursday after Los Alamitos and Buena Park police detectives found equipment used to create counterfeit checks during a search of their homes, police said.
Officials from Los Alamitos began investigating the men about three weeks ago after retailers including Home Depot, Ganahl Lumber and Office Depot reported the crimes, police Capt. Bruce McAlpine said.

The should be under the rigorous punishment for their fault. We know, justice delayed is justice denied. So this justice should be very fast to making alert the criminals. Fraud investigation reports sometimes give them to support. We don't even want any injustice for such this crime.
