Check Intercepted in the Mail, Altered and Deposited

[BFS]

My question involves police conduct in the State of: Michigan

Good Afternoon all and thank you in advance for your help. My Michigan based company had a check intercepted from the US mail. It was headed to a location in Chicago. Along the way the check was intercepted and the payee was altered. The check was subsequently deposited in an ATM in Massachusetts. I have been on the phone with both the local Michigan police as well as the police department in Boston. Neither location is willing to take my report. The Southfield Michigan police say the crime occurred in Massachusetts. The Boston PD say the victim is in Michigan. My bank say they can not start the reimbursement process until a police report is filed.

The deposit occurred in a different bank than what I use. It took over a month of continued calls from my local bank to the depositing bank to even find out where it was deposited. (as an added note, the check was deposited in a newly opened account with a Dallas location).

The check was in excess of $9,000.00.

Advice?

In general, the jurisdiction will be where the fraud/forgery occurred - Massachusetts. However, you cannot FORCE the police to take a crime report.

Have you checked with the US Postal Service? How was the check "intercepted?" Did it get to the intended party?

Was this a check you wrote or a check in which you were the payee?
